#cloudcomb

Trees are rare in the combs, as most of the region lies at too high altitude. The stonepillar pine is especially prized for the aesthetic value of its twisting trunk and its near-miraculous ability to grow in steep or rocky terrain. The trees are so precious to the Clow that the adepts on Nimbus catalog the age and location of every stonepillar pine in the realm. Each summer, a team is sent to travel the combs to assess the health of each one.
