Weeping Black Oak
As we exited the clouds, I had to rub my eyes multiple times. I could not believe what I was seeing. The island in front of us was floating in the air with massive blackroots sticking out of the enormous slab of granite that made the island's base. The island was covered with giant black trees with emerald leaves shimmering in the sunlight.

Basic Information
Anatomy
It has small, squared leaves, which are usually emerald. It also grows large flowers, which can be light silver, light brown, and orange. The trunks are jet black and incredibly thick compared to other trees. Generally, the diameter of the trunks is half its height, so a 20 ft tall tree has a trunk that is about 10 ft in diameter. The roots of these trees are thick and strong and go very, very deep into the ground. These roots are generally twice as deep at the height of the tree and will even break into solid rock and branch through it.
Biological Traits
These trees will generally grow in huge groups.
Genetics and Reproduction

Growth Rate & Stages
On average these trees will grow 2 to 6 ft a year.
