Bluefruit Tree

This large fruit tree grows up to 39 feet (11.9 meters) tall and lives for up to 20 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 60 years old. It is susceptible to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a narrow, straight trunk covered in paper-thin, knobbly, dark green bark, and inside, the very dense wood is silver.

The branches trail down to the ground and are covered with copious amounts of large, very thin leaves with tattered edges. The leaves themselves are generally yellow.

In early spring, it produces many small, cream blossoms with asymmetrical petals. They fall easily and have a scent that varies in strength that smells like freshly baked bread.

In mid-summer it produces , circular fruit. The smooth dull purple skin is peel-able and inedible, and the very soft blue flesh is bitter and sticky. The bronze seeds are tiny and are located in the centre of the fruit.

The roots grow as a near perfect mirror of the tree above, and overall the tree is sturdy, flexible, and difficult to uproot or break.

Forests of this species feature trees spaced far apart, with the space between filled with undergrowth.
