Aquafruit Tree

This big fruit tree grows up to 43 feet (13.1 meters) tall and lives for up to 15 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 34 years old. It is very resistant to disease but is susceptible to destructive insect infestation.

It has a very thick, wavy trunk covered in cracked, dark gray bark, and inside, the soft wood is light brown.

The sparse amount of branches are short stubs and are covered with thick bunches of giant, perforated leaves with ripped edges. The leaves themselves are generally red.

In early spring, it produces many balls of medium-sized, aquamarine blossoms with fan-like petals with a tube-like floral cup. They are sturdy and have a mildly strong scent that smells like a damp log.

In early winter it produces tiny, oblong fruit. The fuzzy azure skin is tough and sweet and bitter, and the very soft beige flesh is savoury and syrupy. The caramel seed is tiny and sits at the top of the fruit.

The roots form a tightly packed ball, and overall the tree is rigid and brittle.

Forests of this species feature well-spaced trees, with patches of undergrowth between them.
