| rdfs:comment | - Wroshyr trees were gigantic trees that grew on the planet Kashyyyk, homeworld of the Wookiee species. The native Wookiees lived in homes built in the wroshyr trees of Kashyyyk, and many of their weapons were whittled from wroshyr wood. There existed over 1000 varieties of wroshyr trees adapted to growing everywhere on Kashyyyk save for the poles. Those who grew in the deep forests reached several kilometers in height, while the tropical variety found in coastal regions only averaged 300 to 400 meters.
- The wroshyr tree was a species of flora native to the Kashyyyk system. First documented on Dantooine, the species of tree was also recorded on far–flung worlds, such as Sarapin. The Kashyyyk system, specifically Kashyyyk, was recognized as the origin of the wroshyr due to petrified remains of a forest of trees that dated as far back as fifty million years. Petrified remains were also witnessed on the colony moon, Alaris Prime, which dated roughly a millennium later. This suggested that a large interstellar collision occurred that separated the two entities.

- The wroshyr tree was a species of flora native to the Kashyyyk system. First documented on Dantooine, the species of tree was also recorded on far–flung worlds, such as Sarapin. The Kashyyyk system, specifically Kashyyyk, was recognized as the origin of the wroshyr due to petrified remains of a forest of trees that dated as far back as fifty million years. Petrified remains were also witnessed on the colony moon, Alaris Prime, which dated roughly a millennium later. This suggested that a large interstellar collision occurred that separated the two entities. The wroshyr tree, for several millennia, was known as an average–sized tree that had distinctive aerating roots similar to Dagobah's gnarltree. After the introduction of the Kashyyyk system to the known galaxy, the perception of the wroshyr was radically changed. The Kashyyyk variant grew kilometers upon kilometers tall and had the capacity to provide shelter to thousands of Wookiees. Unsure of why the wroshyr grew so large on Kashyyyk and, to a lesser extent, Alaris Prime, Republic scientists hypothesized that the Wookiee wroshyr had a much longer lifespan and suffered from climate change and deforestation significantly less than its varieties on Dantooine and Sarapin. However, it was revealed that Rakatan terraforming technology manipulated the growth of the trees. Thousands of years later, the Sarapin breed became extinct during an event on the planet that annihilated all life on the world. The planet was consumed by lava flows, ash and noxious gases. Examples of the subspecies were preserved once the ash and gas settled. Also, to prevent the Dantooinian breed from destroying the ecosystem, government officials placed tight restrictions on the plant to control its growth. Wookiee tree cities were created within large forests of trees. The Wookiees would carve into the bark and make the hollowed trees their homes while branches would serve as thoroughfares between trees. Kachirho and Rwookrrorro were well–known tree cities built into the wroshyr tree.
