Radios are a rare kind of tree that grow naturally in a very specific environment.
Radio trees (scientific name: Quercus roburtesla) are descendants of Steelwood, which in turn are descendants of Ironwood. These trees grow only at the tops of mountainous areas, sometimes alone, sometimes in small colonies of up to 30 or so, preferably in remote areas. But due to urban encroachment, they’re no longer considered that remote of an area.
They grow long and narrow, sometimes reaching up to a thousand feet or more. Due to their excessive height, they have a most peculiar root system. They’ve developed a kind of flying root system that helps stabilize their height. How they grow is not yet fully understood, but it appears to work in tandem with their underground roots where one set grows outward from the trunk underground then bursting out of the surface at some distance away. This ground set of roots grows upwards towards the trunk while a separate set of roots from a high portion of the tree grows out and downwards. How they find each other is unknown, but they eventually do, grab each other, and pull themselves taut. On some species of radio, you can see the joint that developed where they reached each other
Leaves
While leaves of most trees are quite visibly predominate, radios prefer to have their trunks predominately visible. As such, leaves of these towering trees are rare – If the trees have leaves, they’re very long and thin, similar to needles of an evergreen, but on a much larger scale and grayer in color. These large leaves are known as broadcast leaves. They also have smaller leaves, sometimes referred to foothold leaves, that grow straight out from the trunk where they are stiff enough and spaced just far enough apart from each other that you can climb on them. They also aren’t like most other trees that like the visible section of light but prefer a much lower form of light, well below the infrared.

Flowers
The flowers of Radios are large – Some are drum like in shape, others are parabolic or conical. When these flowers go to seed, they’re quite prolific in their acorns, each producing a good 200 pounds or more.
Bark
The bark of a Radio tree is usually grey or brown, but can also be red or white. It’s also hard and smooth, though brown bark might be a bit rougher than the others. All radiowood is denser than water and very hard to work with. Cutting it requires a fine toothed saw or a cutting torch.
Summary
Height – 100+ feet (tallest known: 2,120 feet)
Bark – red, grey, white or brown
Roots – flying like buttresses, thin and sinewy
Leaves – long and narrow, similar color to bark
Flowers – large drum or parabolic shaped protrusions
Cell trees on the other hand, seem like they’re related but they’re actually a very deadly type of fungus.

If you see any such growth, call a specialist right away for removal as the spores of this fungus are both addictive and deadly. If you’re feeling the urge to carry a screen with you at all times, feeling lonely or isolated while connected with friends, taking hundreds of pictures of yourself in a single day or are even surrounding yourself with and/or seeking out blatant lies, you are already in the death throes of these horrible spores and must seek safe haven immediately.
