A very young individual, with very little reserves to lean on as the moisture withdraws. The leaves turn autumn red and wither, leaving an inconspicuous plant in wait for the next trigger to continue its growth to a giant. It grows very little per year.
Compared to the mature giants of the species (reaching over 2 meters in height) you can get an idea of how old they can get.
Endemic.
