Frilleart tree

A tall species of tree found in the Demon Kingdoms region of Palachia. These stately trees form the upper canopy of all forests in the Demon Kingdoms. Their boughs share a typically heart-shaped layout as with most trees of this region. They exhibit cordate or heart-shaped foliage with a double serrate edge. The foliage displays distinct purple variegation. The trees are deciduous in nature, losing much of their greenery during the winter months. The leaves are frequently used as a composting agent in the farming industry. 
Frillearts hold an extremely important position in the ecosystems of the Demon Kingdoms, the leaf litter generated by these trees forms the base of all forests of this region and allows for thick healthy undergrowth and shelter for a variety of creatures.
Other names for these trees in use in the Demon Kingdoms range from "tatter hearts", "frayed love" to "beast pads".
