Azalea Wood: Knot/Spalting/Burl Patterns Intertwining Vinelike Bark Texture

In real life, an Azalea is similar to a Wisteria, almost vine like with multiple root like trunks. My suggestion is to have the log texture look like an intertwining vine like trunk. When cut, the cross section will essentially look like a bunch of circular knots in the wood. Or if were just worried about the aesthetic and not "making sense", it could look like spalting, or have a burl pattern. This pattern will translate to the planks, stairs and slabs as a cool, swirly pattern or something along those lines. Very exotic looking, and definitely something different. The color is a matter of debate. I wouldnt mind seeing a mesquite or rosewood color, it would look best with the cool pattern IMO. As an aside: I would like to see a wood type that doesnt have a plank pattern (not stripped logs, which dont have stairs and slabs). This would be a great opportunity to explore that with this unique tree that technically isnt much of a tree IRL anyway. Dont overthink it.

    I'm not sure how possible some of these details are in a 16x16 pixel limit, but it certainly sounds neat, so I wouldn't mind seeing what they came up with.

    A lot of the logs end up looking very same-y, so some unique texture like this would be very refreshing

    Totally down with this apart from the wood colours you suggested, which are a bit too similar to ones we already have in game IMO. I don't think the azalea is the best plant to give a reddish wood.

    Minecraft has needed a greyish/silvery wood texture for a long time, like the colour wood natural sun bleaches or weathers to if it's left outside, so that could fit. Even with a very faint lavender tone to match the flowers. (Hopefully a green wood that looks mossy or lichen-y will come when they update the swamp, so I wouldn't want it for the azalea).
