Black Pusoog Tree is a small gnarled type of tree which grows in the harsh desert. The tree is often bent in various unique shapes by the wind. The leaves of the tree are small, which help it conserve water, a sparse commodity in the desert. This is often the only type of trees that can be found in the desert so it is a very valuable commodity for the few tribes that live in the area.
Wild onions also grow in some areas of the desert. While the Saxaul tree provides wood and water, the wild onion serves as food for famished nomads.
