Amberberry

This short fruit tree grows up to 9 feet (2.7 meters) tall and lives for up to 30 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 55 years old. It is susceptible to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a flexible, wavy trunk covered in thick, waxy, yellow-brown bark, and inside, the very light wood is burgundy.

The large clumps of branches trail down to the ground and are covered with very large amounts of large, very thin leaves with toothed edges. The leaves themselves are amber and beige.

In early spring, it produces handfuls of medium-sized, red blossoms with many layers of petals with a bell-shaped floral cup. They detach easily and have a soft scent that smells like alcohol.

In mid-summer it produces tiny, perforated fruit. The fuzzy green skin is thin and inedible, and the crunchy red flesh is slightly sweet and powdery. The green seed is small and is in the centre of the fruit.

The roots are shallow and widely spread, and overall the tree is rigid and weak, and breaks apart easily.

Forests of this species feature the trees packed together, with clear space between them.
