The Golden Tree

The Golden Tree is a plant which is believed to be unique to planet Iero.

Physical appearance
The tree is approximately 14 feet tall. It has a thin, beige trunk with black spots. Despite its fragile look, the trunk hes proven impossible to break thus far. What makes the tree interesting are its leaves, which are of a bright yellow colour, the characteristic that has awarded the plant its name. The leaves are large, and have a round shape, almost perfectly circular, and do not fall during the colder time of the year. In fact, it does not look like the Golden Tree changes its foliage at all. Scientists are still studying this extraordinary feature. Furthermore, the leaves of this plant seem to produce a unique cocktail of chemicals which make life on planet Iero possible for a wide variety of species.

Various governments are trying to transport the plant onto other planets in the hope that they would change the atmosphere and make them suitable for life, but removing the tree from its soil has thus far proven impossible.
