Trailing Blossom Tree

This average-sized fruit tree grows up to 11 feet (3.4 meters) tall and lives for up to 30 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 54 years old. It is very resistant to disease but is susceptible to destructive insect infestation.

It has a sturdy, wavy trunk covered in ridged, black bark, and inside, the flexible wood is burgundy-brown.

The excessive amount of branches trail down across the ground and are covered with large amounts of miniature, thick leaves with irregular edges. The leaves themselves are dark grey on the sides and copper at the center.

In early spring, it produces copious amounts of small, azure blossoms with long, narrow petals with a tube-like floral cup. They are hardy and have a delicate scent that smells like something putrid.

In mid-autumn it produces small, oblong fruit. The smooth amber skin is delicate and inedible, and the soft dark grey flesh is sweet and syrupy. The cream seed is very large and sits at the top of the fruit.

The roots are shallow and grow straight down, and overall the tree is sturdy, flexible, and difficult to uproot or break.

Forests of this species feature the trees packed together, with the space between filled with undergrowth.
