Ashpeach

This average-sized fruit tree grows up to 15 feet (4.6 meters) tall and lives for up to 20 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 49 years old. It is very resistant to disease but is susceptible to destructive insect infestation.

It has a flexible, crooked trunk covered in hard, waxy, brown and grey bark, and inside, the hard wood is pale yellow.

The abundance of branches are very long and thick and are covered with copious amounts of tiny, slender, pointed leaves with jagged edges. The leaves themselves are generally dark grey.

In early spring, it produces many medium-sized, peach blossoms with circular petals with a bell-shaped floral cup. They are hardy and have a delicate scent that smells like ashes.

In late summer it produces tiny, circular fruit. The waxy light brown skin is peel-able and inedible, and the crunchy peach flesh is sweet and syrupy. The olive seed is small and sits at the top of the fruit.

The roots are shallow and widely spread, and overall the tree is sturdy, flexible, and difficult to uproot or break.

Forests of this species feature trees spaced far apart, with patches of undergrowth between them.
