Leadleaf Tree

a tree who has a built in defense and survival mechanism. The sap inside hardens and magically become heavy once a leaf falls from the tree. This ensures that is nourishes the ground underneath the tree by embedded itself into the ground as well as potentially kills anything underneath, allowing the decaying body to fertilize the tree as well.
The leadleaf tree is a large tree found in the northern regions of Galfin. It has a unique defense mechanism where the sap inside its leaves hardens and becomes very heavy once a leaf falls from the tree. This ensures that the leaf nourishes the ground underneath the tree by embedding itself into the ground and potentially killing anything underneath. The decaying body of the prey then serves to fertilize the tree. The leadleaf tree is known for its dark, almost black bark and large, dark green leaves. It is a popular choice for landscaping in colder climates due to its hardiness and unique features.
