Caramel

Succulent type: Leaf succulent (Stores water in its leaves)

This modest-sized leaf succulent grows up to 64 feet (19.5 meters) tall. The very narrow, elongated stem is green, and is covered in thick bunches of fine, gold, hair-like spines. The wavy-edged, 5 pointed leaves are caramel on the sides and pastel red at the center. Thick bunches of them grow from the base in alternating layers of 2, then 4, then 6, and so on. The leaves are flimsy, but easily come away when pulled.

It is steady-growing, taking 5 years to reach maturity. Once mature, a single flower with petals that are either green or white, with a yellow center grows at the top, reappearing once every 4 years. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of 14 petals. It has a powerful scent that smells like warm cookies.

The leaf succulent's skin is thick, the magenta flesh is leathery, and the beige sap is thin.
