Daggerleaf Tree

The daggerleaf tree was a type of plant created via genetic engineering in a joint effort by the Kazarites and the Payav, part of the effort to restore the ecology of planet Mestiko in the aftermath of the Pulse. They had narrow, succulent leaves which retained water, and deep roots which could tap water deep below the surface. A forest of daggerleaf trees were planted on the edge of the Jarol Desert on planet Kazar prior to 2279, where they served as a windbreak and prevented further erosion of the land where a community of Payav refugees had settled. By 2283, following the return of Raya elMora to power on Mestiko, forests of daggerleaf tress were also planted on that planet.
