Azureberry

This modest-sized fruit tree grows up to 12 feet (3.7 meters) tall and lives for up to 15 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 35 years old. It is very susceptible to disease and insect infestation.

It has a narrow, straight trunk covered in knobbly, mahogany-coloured bark, and inside, the medium-dense wood is light brown.

The branches trail down across the ground and are covered with large amounts of large, perforated leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are sky blue at the bottom and caramel with orange zig-zags at the top.

In early spring, it produces large amounts of medium-sized, azure blossoms with long, tapering petals. They are hardy and have the faintest scent that smells like rich perfume.

In early winter it produces very large, 8 pointed fruit. The smooth grey skin is stretchy and edible when cooked; it is bitter, and the slightly crunchy yellow flesh is bland and juicy. The grey seeds are large and are scattered throughout the fruit.

The roots spread far and go deep underground, and overall the tree is sturdy and difficult to uproot.

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