Woeridgian Oak

Size: 30' High x 20' Wide
Foliage: Evergreen
Water: Medium
Exposure: Full Sun
The Woeridgian Oak (Quercus Woeridge) is a large, hearty oak tree variant found just about everywhere in the area. Their acorns are surprisingly large, measuring at a whopping 6 inches long and 8.25 inches in diameter on average. Additionally, the acorns of these trees have quite a thick shell, making them nearly immune to blight, weevils, and severe weather.
Porcini's Notes:The acorns of the Quercus Woeridge are harvested in bulk during Autumn, in which they are then processed and turned into acorn flour. This practice started early in the towns history, as the low temperatures of Woeridge caused all wheat crops to die to frost. Turning these acorns into flour proved useful for survival, and also proved to be useful in keeping children from throwing the nuts at potential victims.
Woeridgian Juniper

Size: 20' High x 15' Wide
Foliage: Evergreen
Water: Medium
Exposure: Full Sun preferred, Partial Shade acceptable
The Woeridgian Juniper (Juniperus Woeridge) is a round, single trunk juniper tree with thick blue-green foliage. The bark tends to shed like snake skin as it ages, often being used as a material for bird nests. The berries it grows are a favorite among the wildlife of the area.
Porcini's Notes:The pollen from the male Woeridgian Junipers are notorious for causing seasonal allergies to flare up in a rather violent manner. Symptoms of Woeridgian Juniper allergies range from congestion and sneezing to extreme fatigue and throat swelling. As a result, those with severe reactions to the pollen often leave the town before March/April to avoid them.
Woeridgian Pinyon Pine

Foliage: Evergreen

Exposure: Full Sun
The Woeridgian Pinyon Pine (Pinus edulis – Woeridge) is a close relative of the Pinyon Pine (Pinus edulis) of North America. It’s not exactly known how this variant came to Woeridge, but it has become a staple of sorts. It holds its own relatively well regardless of weather.
Porcini's Notes:
While most of the Denizens only care for the pine nuts these trees produce, there are a few who take great care in turning the entirety of young green pinecones into syrups and jams. It’s quite sweet and fruity when it comes to the taste. The pinecones themselves are incredibly soft and, as one would expect, are pine flavored.
