Caramelberry
Fruit Tree type: Coniferous (Stores water in its leaves)This average-sized fruit tree grows up to 19 feet (5.8 meters) tall and lives for up to 25 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 29 years old. It is very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.
It has a long and flexible, curved trunk covered in thin, ridged, yellow bark, and inside, the very light wood is yellow-brown.
The sparse amount of branches are very short and thin and are covered with large amounts of huge, very thick leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are either green or caramel, with olive dots.
In early spring, it produces copious amounts of large, caramel blossoms with 2 oval-shaped shaped petals. They detach easily and have a fairly strong scent that smells like fish.
In mid-autumn it produces , oblong fruit. The fuzzy cyan skin is peel-able and edible when cooked; it is sweet and spicy, and the slightly crunchy light brown flesh is bitter and very dry. The light grey seeds are tiny and are scattered throughout the fruit.
The roots grow as a near perfect mirror of the tree above, and overall the tree is rigid and weak, and breaks apart easily.
Forests of this species feature the trees packed together, with the space between filled with undergrowth.
It is suitable for creating tough, hard-wearing textiles
