Blackberry Tree

Fruit Tree type: Coniferous (Grows upwards by winding itself around other objects and plants.)

This average-sized fruit tree grows up to 15 feet (4.6 meters) tall and lives for up to 35 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 69 years old. It is very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a long and flexible, slanted trunk covered in thin, rough, black with white speckled bark, and inside, the hard wood is light brown.

The branches trail down across the ground and are covered with small bunches of huge, very narrow and elongated leaves with serrated edges. The leaves themselves are solid bright yellow or purple, with white lines.

In early spring, it produces hundreds of medium-sized, violet blossoms with long, tapering petals. They detach easily and have a strong scent that smells like warm cookies.

In late summer it produces small, long, curved fruit. The leathery brown skin is tough and sweet, and the crunchy black flesh is sour and sticky. The dark orange seeds are small and are located in the centre of the fruit.

The roots grow as a near perfect mirror of the tree above, and overall the tree is rigid and weak, and breaks apart easily.

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

The trunk and branches are covered in large spikes.
It is suitable for creating tough, hard-wearing textiles
