Bloodoak - Bloodoak is a carnivorous plant that grows to the size of a tree. It resembles a Venus' Flytrap , but behaves in a more animal-like manner, in that it grinds its "teeth" and can voluntarily swallow or spit its prey. It ejects bones, but draws blood to its roots, where the Termagant Trogs drink of it and become ferocious. Bloodoak wood is very strong when dead, but extremely flexible when alive, adding to the sinister animal-like aspect. When burned, it screams violently. Bloodoak "works" with Tarry Vine to draw in and consume prey. Blookoak wood is the most buoyant wood on the Edge.

Dellberry - a red berry used in jelly, as this quote from ''Stormchaser'' clearly shows: ''The sun - large and red and wobbling like an immense bowl of dellberry jelly - had just risen above the horizon.'' It is unknown whether the berries grow on trees or bushes.

Ironwood - Obviously the strongest of the woods found on the Edge. Gathered by Woodtrolls and sky pirates.

Lullabee - A tree that sings almost hypnotically. Feared by Woodtrolls because its music may confuse or soporify the listener, but a favored haunt of Caterbirds and Oakelves.

Pinecoffee Plant - Not much is known about this plant, but in ''Midnight Over Sanctaphrax'' there is mention of the "familiar" smell of roasted Pinecoffee beans.

Redoak - In ''Midnight Over Sanctaphrax'' the heroes stay overnight in a tavern in Undertown known as the "Redoak Tavern". It can be assumed that this tavern is named after a tree, much in the same way that the "Lullabee Inn" from the same book is named.

Tarry-vine - In "Beyond the Deepwoods", Twig almost gets eaten by a Bloadoak. The tarry vines work with the Bloodoak tree to capture travelers.

Tripweed - A plant eaten by Woodtrolls, but despised by all other civilized Edge-dwellers.
