Caramel Tree

This modest-sized tree grows up to 22 meters (72.2 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 111 years old. It is susceptible to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a stocky, crooked trunk covered in thin, wrinkled, brown bark, and inside, the flexible wood is dark brown.

The numerous branches trail down across the ground and are covered with sparse amounts of crispy, tiny, fan-like leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are generally caramel.

In early spring, it produces a handful of small, aquamarine blossoms with circular petals with a tube-like floral cup. They fall easily and have a scent whose strength depends on external factors, such as soil quality and rain frequency that smells like cotton.

In late summer it forms medium-sized, dark orange berries.

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

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