Aquaflora
Fruit Tree type: Deciduous (Stores water in its leaves)This big fruit tree grows up to 33 feet (10.1 meters) tall and lives for up to 20 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 36 years old. It is very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.
It has a slender, straight trunk covered in paper-thin, wrinkled, silver bark, and inside, the very hard wood is white with black speckles.
The small bunches of branches are short stubs and are covered with small amounts of tiny, very thin leaves with toothed edges. The leaves themselves are turquoise on the edges and red at the center.
In early spring, it produces balls of large, beige blossoms with V-shaped petals with a trumpet-shaped floral cup. They detach easily and have an intensely strong scent that smells like lemon.
In early summer it produces small, cuboid fruit. The fuzzy red skin is thin and bitter and savoury, and the slightly crunchy washed-out blue flesh is sweet and very juicy. The white seeds are tiny and are dotted around on the skin of the fruit.
The roots are shallow and grow straight down, and overall the tree is sturdy and difficult to uproot.
Forests of this species feature the trees packed together, with patches of undergrowth between them.
It is suitable for creating flexible, durable textiles
