Amberfruit Tree

Fruit Tree type: Deciduous (Stores water in its stem)

This average-sized fruit tree grows up to 11 feet (3.4 meters) tall and lives for up to 15 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 32 years old. It is very susceptible to disease and insect infestation.

It has a thick, straight trunk covered in very thick, knobbly, light brown bark, and inside, the medium-dense wood is burgundy.

The sparse amount of branches trail down across the ground and are covered with large amounts of huge, long, tapering leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are found in silver and orange varieties.

In early spring, it produces several medium-sized, green blossoms with perforated petals. They are very delicate and have a delicate scent that smells like grass cuttings.

In mid-summer it produces tiny, broad, flat fruit. The hairy yellow skin is stretchy and edible when cooked; it is sour, and the very soft amber flesh is salty and very juicy. The bronze seeds are small and are located in the centre of the fruit.

The roots form a tightly packed ball, and overall the tree is rigid and weak, and breaks apart easily.

Forests of this species feature well-spaced trees, with the space between filled with undergrowth.

It can grow in even the most barren lands.
It is suitable for use as a construction material
