Caramel

This average-sized fruit tree grows up to 17 feet (5.2 meters) tall and lives for up to 25 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 41 years old. It is very resistant to destructive insect infestation but susceptible to disease.

It has a long and flexible, straight trunk covered in paper-thin, waxy, gray bark, and inside, the light wood is light brown.

The branches trail down to the ground and are covered with sparse amounts of miniature, finger-like leaves with wavy edges. The leaves themselves are solid caramel with crimson streaks.

In early spring, it produces bunches of giant, light red blossoms with stiff, pointed petals with a trumpet-shaped floral cup. They detach easily and have an intense scent that smells like vomit.

In early summer it produces small, cuboid fruit. The fuzzy deep orange skin is stretchy and inedible, and the very soft bright green flesh is sour and dry. The white seeds are small and are scattered throughout the fruit.

The roots are long and grow straight down, and overall the tree is sturdy and difficult to uproot.

Forests of this species feature well-spaced trees, with patches of undergrowth between them.
