Magenta

This large fruit tree grows up to 22 feet (6.7 meters) tall and lives for up to 15 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 29 years old. It is susceptible to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a flexible, slanted trunk covered in very thick, knobbly, mahogany-coloured bark, and inside, the soft wood is burgundy.

The excessive amount of branches are short and thin and are covered with large amounts of small, long, narrow leaves with serrated edges. The leaves themselves are a shade of yellow-green that gradient shifts to ashy yellow at the top.

In early spring, it produces bunches of giant, magenta blossoms with broad, flat petals with a bell-shaped floral cup. They are sturdy and have a soft scent that smells like fruity.

In late autumn it produces large, fan-like fruit. The soft sky blue skin is thick and bitter and spicy, and the crunchy light grey flesh is sweet and very dry. The grey seed is small and is in the centre of 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, with the space between filled with undergrowth.
