Umbrella Warmwood

Umbrella Warmwood is a broadleaf evergreen tree found in cold regions of Haven, mostly in Hearthstone Yuldai.
One of its most recognisable characteristics, is its crown shyness, where crowns of fully grown trees do not touch each other, forming a canopy with river-like gaps. Warmwood's crowns are wide, compared to its size, which is where it gets "umbrella" part of its name from. Its wide, wax-covered leaves are good at catching snow, which allows smaller plants to grow in colder climates. Once there is too much snow on one side of the crown, Warmwood's rubbery bark lean to that side, causing the snow to fall. This is most likely the cause of their crown shyness, which makes it so they don't hit each other, and there's room for the snow to fall. Umbrella Warmwood developed a symbiotic relation with Blue Ivy, a thermogenic plant, that can produce heat. It warms Warmwood up, in exchange for nutrients and protection from snow. Without it, Warmwood would freeze. It was called Warmwood, due to its surprisingly warm bark even during winter.
Umbrella Warmwood is a popular tree in cities where it snows often, as it protects smaller plants. Blue Ivy's slight glow illuminates the otherwise pitch-black areas, while also giving off heat to warm up one's cold hands.
Umbrella Warmwood's range matches the one of Blue Ivy. They are found most commonly in cold, snowy climates, but there are some growing in cold tundras. While Umbrella Warmwood can survive in warmer climates on its own, its usually beneficial relations with Blue Ivy, causes it to overheat and wilt.
