Canadian Renderwood -- Graphosilvans canadiansis
A close relative of the American Renderwood (Graphosilvans americansis), this forest giant grows at an amazing rate, reaching 20m (65ft) in height within its first year of life. Needing little water, it actually grows better the more polluted the air is.
Noted for its perfectly straight trunk, this tree is highly resistant to damage. It can withstand impacts from runaway SUVs with little more than scrapes. Its bark has the unusual property of shedding notices and handbills within moments of their attachment.
Strangely, this species was unknown to science until the twentieth century, but since then has proliferated across Canada.
