Amber Thorny Tripod

This modest-sized caudiciform grows up to 63 feet (19.2 meters) tall. The needle-like stem is emerald and silver, and is dotted with small brown spines. It has a slanted, wide, bronze trunk atop a slender tripod of wrinkled, exposed roots. The branches are very thick and orange-yellow and are short and thick.

The jagged-edged, finger-like leaves are crimson on the sides and hazel at the center. They are resilient, but take little effort to detach.

It is steady-growing, taking 3 years to reach maturity. Once mature, a handful of flowers, with petals that are purple on the underside and dark brown on the top, grow at the top, reappearing once every 9 years. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of 52 petals. It has a powerful scent that smells like cheese.

The caudiciform's skin is extremely thick, the amber flesh is smooth, and the grey sap is thin.
