Aquafruit Tree

This small fruit tree grows up to 6 feet (1.8 meters) tall and lives for up to 35 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 52 years old. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a very thick, straight trunk covered in fine, silky, dark brown bark, and inside, the medium-dense wood is yellow.

The small handful of branches are long and thin and are covered with copious amounts of tiny, very thin leaves with tattered edges. The leaves themselves are found in magenta and cream varieties.

In early spring, it produces a thick sheet of tiny, azure blossoms with long, tapering petals with a trumpet-shaped floral cup. They detach easily and have a scent whose strength depends on external factors, such as soil quality and rain frequency that smells like new carpet.

In early winter it produces , pleated fruit. The sticky pink skin is tough and inedible, and the slightly crunchy aquamarine flesh is savoury and dry. The cream seeds are small and are bunched at the bottom of the fruit.

The roots are long and grow straight down, and overall the tree is rigid and brittle.

Forests of this species feature trees spaced far apart, with the space between filled with undergrowth.
