Creamfruit Tree

This average-sized fruit tree grows up to 13 feet (4.0 meters) tall and lives for up to 30 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 52 years old. It is very susceptible to disease and insect infestation.

It has a flexible, straight trunk covered in waxy, silver bark, and inside, the dense wood is pine-coloured.

The branches are long, thin and wispy and are covered with handfuls of huge, broad, flat leaves with tattered edges. The leaves themselves are solid cream or subtle purple, with blue lines.

In early spring, it produces lots of tiny, yellow blossoms with perforated petals with a trumpet-shaped floral cup. They are very delicate and have the faintest scent that smells like freshly baked bread.

In late summer it produces small, long, narrow fruit. The soft orange skin is peel-able and sweet, and the soft yellow flesh is bland and very dry. The olive seed is tiny and sits at the top of the fruit.

The roots form a tightly packed ball, and overall the tree is sturdy and rigid.

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