Knobbleaf Tree

This modest-sized fruit tree grows up to 20 feet (6.1 meters) tall and lives for up to 30 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 60 years old. It is very susceptible to disease and insect infestation.

It has a stocky, wonky trunk covered in very thick, knobbly, brown-green bark, and inside, the soft wood is white.

The tangled mess of branches are very long and thin and are covered with thick bunches of huge, very thick leaves with jagged edges. The leaves themselves are indigo and cream.

In early spring, it produces copious amounts of medium-sized, aquamarine blossoms with triangular shaped petals. They detach easily and have the faintest scent that smells like rotten meat.

In early summer it produces small, fan-like fruit. The leathery azure skin is peel-able and inedible, and the very soft gold flesh is sour and very dry. The grey seeds are tiny and are bunched at the top of the fruit.

The roots are shallow and widely spread, and overall the tree is sturdy, flexible, and difficult to uproot or break.

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