Magenta Aril Tree

This small tree grows up to 2 meters (6.6 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 284 years old. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a very thick, straight trunk covered in thick, cracked, black bark, and inside, the very light wood is light brown.

The excessive amount of branches are short and thin and are covered with small bunches of clammy, large, thin leaves with ripped edges. The leaves themselves are yellow and sky blue.

In late summer it forms large, magenta aril (seeds with fleshy covers).

The roots are shallow and widely spread, and overall the tree is rigid and weak, and breaks apart easily.

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