Caramel

Succulent type: Caudiciform (Stores water in the thickened base of its stem)

This large caudiciform grows up to 91 feet (27.7 meters) tall. The slender, pointed stem is hazel and moss green, and is covered in brittle white spines. It has a wavy, flat, orange trunk atop a wide platform of cracked, exposed roots. The branches are thin and amber and trail down across the ground.

The smooth-edged, spear shaped leaves are solid caramel or aquamarine, with deep yellow splotches. They are frail, but do not detach easily.

It is steady-growing, taking 19 months to reach maturity. Once mature, several flowers with solid pink petals decorated with blood red dots and a aquamarine central disk grow at the top, reappearing once every 8 years. The flower head is made up of 4 petals in raised layers. It has a weak scent that smells like perfume.

The caudiciform's skin is tough, the brilliant orange flesh is smooth, and the turquoise sap is thin.


It is suitable for creating flexible, durable textiles
