Bronzeberry

This average-sized fruit tree grows up to 20 feet (6.1 meters) tall and lives for up to 30 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 75 years old. It is not very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a sturdy, straight trunk covered in thin, wrinkled, mahogany-coloured bark, and inside, the very dense wood is pale brown-grey.

The branches are very long and thick and are covered with very large amounts of small, finger-like leaves with toothed edges. The leaves themselves are orange at the bottom and cream with pink dots at the top.

In early spring, it produces thousands of giant, lime blossoms with needle-like petals. They detach easily and have a strong scent that smells like rainy days.

In late summer it produces small, perforated fruit. The smooth bronze skin is thick and bitter, and the slightly crunchy silver flesh is spicy and oily. The yellow seed is tiny and is in the centre of the fruit.

The roots grow as a near perfect mirror of the tree above, and overall the tree is sturdy and difficult to uproot.

Forests of this species feature the trees packed together, with the space between them filled with thick undergrowth.
