The Narrow Volleypom split from its ancestor, the Shaggy Volleypom, becoming a smaller scrappier species with a maximum height of 60 meters. They can be found forming stands in Central Wallace Highboreal, Wallace Volcanic, Verserus Rocky, and Wallace Plains, ideal growing conditions are near waterways such as minor rivers, springs, or snowmelt seeps. The body structure is dominated by a central and fairly straight trunk with comparatively thin and short branches. The appearance of a Narrow Volleypom varies wildly from individual to individual due to growing conditions, with quite a few in the tough highlands of the volcanics and rockies being very scraggly, stunted, and sparse in leafed branches. Some Narrow Volleypoms at higher elevations barely exceed three meters in height. Those growing in the more forgiving highboreal and plains very regularly will reach the full height potential of the species, displaying the thick trunk and tiny branches that grant them their name.
The leaves remain similar in appearance to their ancestor's, with pinnate summertime leaves and fishbone wintertime leaves. The sporangia however are different in habit. Both Microsporangium and Megasporangium grow as lone units across the branches and twigs. If one of these reproductive structures becomes infested by floraverm or minikrugg vermin it is less likely to be able to immediately spread to others, and the infested sporangium may be shed to rid the tree of the problem. Structurally both sporangiums are very similar to their ancestor's .
