Korshifi trees in the sun tongue: black trees is a rare but still very common tree amongst the islands of Ta’ka sha’miri, having evolved amongst the shorelines of the islands have it evolved the rather unique ability to extract sustenance from pure saltwater, being a very rare example of a tree living at least a semi aquatic lifestyle in shallow ocean water. This ocean living habitation have caused large secondary islands lacking any form of ground at the forest floor as shallow saltwater replaces it. These large forest islands are home of numerous fish and arboreal lifeforms and a common staple of fiction and tales from the sun people.

Description

Noteworthy for it's very dark black bark do the trees from a fist glance look dark with white spots caused from collections of salt deposits gathering on the trunks and branches. They have very narrow trunks but with wide canopies and are well known for their very extensive root systems that can sprout new trees further away from the main tree. Resulting in large forests that technically only consists of one tree.

Uses

The tree itself is generally not particularly useful as the wood is generally very soft, however other uses has been found as it produces Korshifi fruits that are commonly used as spices both in Scanderan and Sun people cooking. This fruit has been described as very salty and sour making it a popular treat amongst Scanderans and it is often dried and mixed with Scanderan tea pine to make flavoured pine tea in the Sun people tree tradition.

A more industrialised use for the tree is it's sap. A whitish substance that have a tendency to create a very hard and near watertight coating when treating wood with it, this has made the sap very sought after in the federation both for the creation of long lasting wooden structures in wet climate but also for military purposes. The royal guard to this day keep their wooden hand guards and rifle stocks treated with Korshifi sap to make them almost immune to swelling and shrinking in extreme climates. Sap treated wood to this day remains in use from the far arctic, to the hot deserts and humid jungles of the federation.
