Salty Amberfruit

This big fruit tree grows up to 31 feet (9.4 meters) tall and lives for up to 15 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 34 years old. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a long and flexible, angular trunk covered in smooth, gray bark, and inside, the soft wood is white.

The tangled mess of branches trail down across the ground and are covered with large amounts of huge, wispy leaves with wavy edges. The leaves themselves are vibrant yellow on the edges and olive at the center.

In early spring, it produces a thick sheet of small, gold blossoms with V-shaped petals with a tube-like floral cup. They are hardy and have no scent.

In late autumn it produces tiny, needle-like fruit. The sticky amber skin is tough and edible when boiled; it is sweet and salty, and the very soft green flesh is salty and powdery. The hazel seeds are small and are scattered throughout the fruit.

The roots are fine and grow in a large web, and overall the tree is rigid and weak, and breaks apart easily.

Forests of this species feature well-spaced trees, with grassy ground between them.
