The Tula is a bushing plant with long thin needle-like leaves (1.8mm wide, 3-15cm long), it yields large nuts (3-5cm diameter) that can be dried and crushed into a potent tea or various alcoholic beverages.
The bushes stand around 3 feet high and four feet around. The needles are densely packed and bright green in color during the warm seasons and deep blue during the cold seasons. The nuts are found along the inner branches, so harvesting can cause cuts from the needles if improper protection isn't worn. Most medium to large animals are unable to get to the nuts, but smaller animals are able to crawl under the lowest needles and access the nuts from the inside of the bush.
Tula bushes are found in Vunñar, Væensal, and in tevanial Doëlêl, in warm and moderately wet climates.
