Aquafruit Tree

This enormous fruit tree grows up to 60 feet (18.3 meters) tall and lives for up to 15 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 32 years old. It is very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a slender, curved trunk covered in smooth, copper-coloured bark, and inside, the dense wood is yellow-brown.

The small handful of branches are short stubs and are covered with thick bunches of small, umbrella-shaped leaves with ripped edges. The leaves themselves are dark brown at the bottom and washed-out green with beige streaks at the top.

In early spring, it produces handfuls of tiny, magenta blossoms with fan-like petals with a tube-like floral cup. They are very delicate and have a faint scent that smells like sweat.

In mid-autumn it produces small, oblong fruit. The crispy green skin is thick and inedible, and the very soft aquamarine flesh is sweet and very juicy. The olive seed is tiny and sits at the top of the fruit.

The roots are shallow and widely spread, and overall the tree is sturdy and rigid.

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