Aquamarine Olive Tree

This short fruit tree grows up to 9 feet (2.7 meters) tall and lives for up to 10 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 32 years old. It is very resistant to destructive insect infestation but susceptible to disease.

It has a branched, crooked trunk covered in waxy, yellow bark, and inside, the light wood is copper-coloured.

The branches are long and slender and are covered with small amounts of tiny, long, tapering leaves with serrated edges. The leaves themselves are cyan on the sides and turquoise at the center.

In early spring, it produces large amounts of small, gold blossoms with finger-like petals with a tube-like floral cup. They fall easily and have a powerful scent that smells like warm cookies.

In late summer it produces very large, oblong fruit. The rubbery green skin is peel-able and sweet, and the crunchy cyan flesh is salty and oily. The white seeds are large 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 and difficult to uproot.

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