Golden

This large fruit tree grows up to 42 feet (12.8 meters) tall and lives for up to 20 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 40 years old. It is very resistant to destructive insect infestation but susceptible to disease.

It has a sturdy, angular trunk covered in hard, waxy, brown-green speckled bark, and inside, the flexible wood is white.

The branches are short and thin and are covered with sparse amounts of giant, thin leaves with wavy edges. The leaves themselves are found in gold, purple and peach varieties.

In early spring, it produces hundreds of small, faded green blossoms with pleated petals. They are very delicate and have a strong scent that smells like baby powder.

In mid-summer it produces tiny, oval fruit. The hairy beige skin is thin and inedible, and the slightly crunchy olive flesh is spicy and syrupy. The blood red seed is large and sits at the top of the fruit.

The roots form a tightly packed ball, and overall the tree is sturdy, flexible, and difficult to uproot or break.

Forests of this species feature well-spaced trees, with grassy ground between them.
