Fruit Tree type: Deciduous (Grows upwards by winding itself around other objects and plants.)

This big fruit tree grows up to 35 feet (10.7 meters) tall and lives for up to 35 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 54 years old. It is very resistant to destructive insect infestation but susceptible to disease.

It has a branched, straight trunk covered in silky, light gray bark, and inside, the soft wood is mahogany-coloured.

The branches are very long and thin and are covered with small amounts of miniature, very thin leaves with rounded edges. The leaves themselves are a shade of yellow-green that gradient shifts to intense green at the top.

In early spring, it produces thousands of large, magenta blossoms with 7 crescent-shaped shaped petals. They are very delicate and have the faintest scent that smells like rotting meat.

In late autumn it produces , circular fruit. The smooth cream skin is peel-able and savoury, and the crunchy grey flesh is savoury and very dry. The red seed is small and is in the centre of the fruit.

The roots are long and grow straight down, and overall the tree is rigid and weak, and breaks apart easily.

Forests of this species feature the trees packed together, with grassy ground between them.

It can flourish even in standing water.
