Havenweed

A desert-dwelling vine-like tree, it grows faster than any other plant proportional to the amount of water it receives. Dirla cultivate it to build their homes. Doing so in moister climes means careful tending and pruning to keep it from growing out of control. It is very susceptible to wetter climate pests, and the pheromone dirla excrete from glands at the base of their antlers to keep pests away must be rubbed on it to keep it from being eaten. Havenweed also can grow so fast it becomes brittle when in moist climes, so dirla harvest a mineral in the mountains that can slow or even stop the growth. They carefully bind the trees with rope to mold it. This is a habit mostly done on the plains and the plateau, where shelter is limited.
