Yellowfruit Tree

This large fruit tree grows up to 41 feet (12.5 meters) tall and lives for up to 30 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 37 years old. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a flexible, straight trunk covered in knobbly, brown and grey bark, and inside, the flexible wood is pale brown-grey.

The abundance of branches trail down across the ground and are covered with copious amounts of huge, finger-like leaves with toothed edges. The leaves themselves are yellow with lime tips.

In early spring, it produces thick bunches of small, caramel blossoms with crescent-shaped shaped petals. They are very delicate and have the faintest scent that smells like glue.

In early summer it produces very large, wide fruit. The fuzzy slate skin is peel-able and inedible, and the crunchy white flesh is sour and very dry. The crimson seeds are tiny and are scattered throughout the fruit.

The roots form a tightly packed ball, and overall the tree is rigid and weak, and breaks apart easily.

Forests of this species feature well-spaced trees, with the space between them filled with thick undergrowth.
