Silverfruit

This large fruit tree grows up to 38 feet (11.6 meters) tall and lives for up to 30 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 58 years old. It is very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a narrow, curved trunk covered in waxy, silver and white bark, and inside, the very dense wood is burgundy.

The tangled mess of branches are very short and slender and are covered with large amounts of small, umbrella-shaped leaves with serrated edges. The leaves themselves are found in cream, cyan and turquoise varieties.

In early spring, it produces balls of large, lilac blossoms with flame-shaped shaped petals. They are sturdy and have a faint scent that smells like apple.

In early summer it produces tiny, long, narrow fruit. The smooth dark grey skin is thick and inedible, and the very soft orange flesh is spicy and syrupy. The slate seeds are large and are bunched at the bottom of the fruit.

The roots spread far and go deep underground, 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 them filled with thick undergrowth.
