Le Trees

'''Cocos gigans magicae var. tetradium''' is the scientific name given to a tree species known simply as Le Trees. One of its known occurrence is the cropping in the beaches of Grapetopia.

It is common for small towns to pop up around such large trees, as they are mistaken for their non-magical counterpart in their younger stages.

Tree
Le Trees are similar to their non-magical counterparts, save for the fact that they grow to a maximum height of around 80 meters (262 ft.). Their leaves grow to be 20m across (65.6 ft.), which are actually leaf-shaped clumps of smaller leaves that are 1m across (2.2 ft).

Pods
They do not bear fruit, but will drop pods that are the size of chestnuts to be dispersed through water or birds that eat them. Despite their small size, they are lethal when they fall on an unsuspecting victim's head.

Environment
Le Trees thrive in sandy soils, and can grow from saltwater. Unlike its non-magical counterpart, it mainly lives in arid deserts or in tropical shores - putting more importance on its source of sunlight before needing water. There are some cases where these trees can live without needing an external source of water, sapping from nearby plants (such as cacti) for water.

Life Span
These trees live to be an average of 200 years, after which point small pods in a diamond arrangement disperse through the sea and bury themselves in foreign shores to start the cycle anew.

Its younger stages last 10 years, much like its non-magical counterpart, but the similarities in life span end there. It spends the next 50 to 100 years - depending on how much overrun magic it absorbs - expanding until they reach their gigantic height.

Uses
Its gigantic height allows its equally large leaves to cover a lot of ground for shade, making ample shelter in particularly heated environments. Its wood can be used for creating furniture and tools, also making its products more susceptible to enchantments due to its magically imbued nature.

There are several records of societies having variations that produced pods that are used as spices or thickeners for cooking. The inner tree bark can be chewed as a replacement for toothbrushes - but if one is allergic to its bark, their teeth may fall out.

Finally, their roots contain the most magic in the entire tree. Specific parts of the root can be harvested to become wand wood, excellent for wands that focus on fire magic.
