Aquaflame Tree

Fruit Tree type: Deciduous (Stores water in its leaves)

This short fruit tree grows up to 7 feet (2.1 meters) tall and lives for up to 25 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 36 years old. It is susceptible to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a stocky, straight trunk covered in very thick, smooth, white with black speckled bark, and inside, the dense wood is pale brown-grey.

The sparse amount of branches trail down across the ground and are covered with small amounts of huge, perforated leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are solid azure with indigo patches.

In early spring, it produces clusters of large, sky blue blossoms with spiral shaped petals. They detach easily and have an overpowering scent that smells like vanilla.

In mid-summer it produces small, spherical fruit. The soft crimson skin is peel-able and edible when roasted; it is extremely spicy, and the soft ashy green flesh is sweet and sticky. The washed-out yellow seed is tiny and is in the centre of the fruit.

The roots are shallow 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 densely, with clear space between them.

It commonly grows in large patches.
It is suitable for creating strong, durable textiles
It is overwhelmingly resistant to fire damage.
