Cyan Tree

This small tree grows up to 6 meters (19.7 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 132 years old. It is very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a very thick, straight trunk covered in very thick, wrinkled, dark green bark, and inside, the soft wood is burgundy-brown.

The branches are short stubs and are covered with thick bunches of fuzzy, small, very thick leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are black at the bottom and cyan with copper patches at the top.

In early spring, it produces hundreds of small, pastel purple blossoms with pleated petals with a tube-like floral cup. They are very delicate and have a delicate scent that smells like coconut.

In late summer it forms small, azure aril (seeds with fleshy covers).

The roots form a tightly packed ball, and overall the tree is sturdy and rigid.

Forests of this species feature well-spaced trees, with grassy ground between them.
