Sky Blue Fruit Tree

This average-sized fruit tree grows up to 11 feet (3.4 meters) tall and lives for up to 25 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 41 years old. It is not very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a flexible, curved trunk covered in delicate, waxy, dark gray bark, and inside, the hard wood is brown.

The numerous branches are tall, rigid and upright and are covered with thick bunches of giant, 3 pointed leaves with irregular edges. The leaves themselves are generally sky blue.

In early spring, it produces hundreds of large, white blossoms with kidney-shaped shaped petals. They are hardy and have a strong scent that smells like rainy days.

In mid-autumn it produces tiny, slender, 5 pointed fruit. The leathery copper skin is stretchy and inedible, and the very soft grey flesh is salty and very juicy. The bold yellow seed is small and sits at the end of the fruit.

The roots grow as a near perfect mirror of the tree above, and overall the tree is sturdy, flexible, and difficult to uproot or break.

Forests of this species feature well-spaced trees, with patches of undergrowth between them.
