A Braitile's tail continues to grow its entire life, so you can tell how old one is by how many fronds its tail has. However, the very end is always a bare branch, so that it can channel Braitile's fire.
Braitile is a common sight in apple orchards in the fall. While the bonfires it starts with its tail are usually warm and inviting to all, they can reach dangerous temperatures if the orchard is threatened.
