Magenta

This small fruit tree grows up to 8 feet (2.4 meters) tall and lives for up to 25 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 39 years old. It is susceptible to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a sturdy, straight trunk covered in thin, waxy, burgundy and brown bark, and inside, the medium-dense wood is copper-coloured.

The excessive amount of branches are long and slender and are covered with copious amounts of giant, thin leaves with toothed edges. The leaves themselves are found in peach, magenta and hazel varieties.

In early spring, it produces thousands of large, peach blossoms with 2 pointed petals. They fall easily and have a soft scent that smells like a newborn baby.

In early summer it produces very large, broad, flat fruit. The sticky sky blue skin is thin and edible when cooked; it is bitter and spicy, and the crunchy lilac flesh is sour and sticky. The hazel seed is very large and sits at the top of the fruit.

The roots are long and grow straight down, and overall the tree is sturdy, flexible, and difficult to uproot or break.

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