Aquamarineberry
Fruit Tree type: Deciduous (Stores water in its leaves)This big fruit tree grows up to 33 feet (10.1 meters) tall and lives for up to 25 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 30 years old. It is very susceptible to disease and insect infestation.
It has a sturdy, straight trunk covered in paper-thin, smooth, yellow bark, and inside, the very hard wood is pale brown-grey.
The branches trail down to the ground and are covered with handfuls of tiny, spear shaped leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are solid azure or turquoise, with white edges.
In early spring, it produces thousands of medium-sized, amber blossoms with 7 oval-shaped shaped petals. They are hardy and have a fairly strong scent that smells like citrus.
In late summer it produces , perforated fruit. The rubbery pink skin is stretchy and inedible, and the slightly crunchy aquamarine flesh is sweet and sticky. The blood red seed is very large and is in the centre of the fruit.
The roots are shallow and grow straight down, and overall the tree is sturdy and rigid.
Forests of this species feature trees spaced far apart, with clear space between them.
