Silverberry

This modest-sized fruit tree grows up to 20 feet (6.1 meters) tall and lives for up to 40 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 58 years old. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a thick, twisting trunk covered in paper-thin, smooth, silver and white bark, and inside, the very dense wood is black.

The small bunches of branches are long and thin and are covered with large amounts of small, asymmetrical leaves with serrated edges. The leaves themselves are solid lime with intense red dots.

In early spring, it produces many tiny, caramel blossoms with perforated petals. They are sturdy and have a delicate scent that smells like fresh linen.

In early summer it produces , stiff, pointed fruit. The leathery black skin is delicate and inedible, and the very soft brown flesh is salty and juicy. The yellow seed is tiny and is in the centre of the fruit.

The roots spread far and go deep underground, and overall the tree is sturdy, flexible, and difficult to uproot or break.

Forests of this species feature the trees packed together densely, with the space between them filled with thick undergrowth.
