Magenta Aril Tree

This average-sized tree grows up to 46 meters (150.9 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 240 years old. It is very resistant to disease but is susceptible to destructive insect infestation.

It has a narrow, straight trunk covered in wrinkled, dark green bark, and inside, the very dense wood is light brown.

The branches are short and thin and are covered with copious amounts of crispy, miniature, thick leaves with serrated edges. The leaves themselves are found in bold green and aquamarine varieties.

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

The roots are fine and grow in a large web, and overall the tree is rigid and brittle.

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