Vineberry

Fruit Tree type: Deciduous (Grows upwards by clinging to almost any surface.)

This large fruit tree grows up to 34 feet (10.4 meters) tall and lives for up to 20 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 38 years old. It is susceptible to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a sturdy, crooked trunk covered in silky, burgundy and brown bark, and inside, the very light wood is burgundy.

The numerous branches are tall, rigid and upright and are covered with sparse amounts of large, long, tapering leaves with wavy edges. The leaves themselves are bronze and crimson.

In early spring, it produces thousands of tiny, caramel blossoms with fan-like petals with a bell-shaped floral cup. They are very delicate and have a scent that varies in strength that smells like chocolate.

In mid-summer it produces tiny, long, narrow fruit. The soft crimson skin is tough and inedible, and the soft white flesh is slightly spicy and dry. The bronze seeds are small and are scattered throughout 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 the trees packed together, with the space between filled with undergrowth.

All of it is said to be part of one single, massive plant.
It is suitable for creating fine, soft textiles
