¨^~;*$&¶@# than ferns, which are in turn much #@¶&$*;~^¨
¨¨^~;*$&¶@ older than most trees. it's light green @¶&$*;~^¨¨

¨^~;*$&¶@# #@¶&$*;~^¨

¨¨^~;*$&¶@ ribs radiating outward. even so, it's @¶&$*;~^¨¨
¨^~;*$&¶@# very light, being hollow. it's roughly #@¶&$*;~^¨
¨¨^~;*$&¶@ the height of a foxes tail, and shares @¶&$*;~^¨¨
