Wrinkleberry

Fruit Tree type: Deciduous (Stores water in its stem)

This modest-sized fruit tree grows up to 18 feet (5.5 meters) tall and lives for up to 20 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 59 years old. It is very resistant to destructive insect infestation but susceptible to disease.

It has a sturdy, wavy trunk covered in very thick, wrinkled, black with white speckled bark, and inside, the dense wood is yellow.

The branches trail down towards the ground and are covered with small bunches of miniature, thin leaves with wavy edges. The leaves themselves are lime and blood red.

In early spring, it produces hundreds of medium-sized, hazel blossoms with fan-like petals. They are hardy and have a scent whose strength depends on external factors, such as soil quality and rain frequency that smells like rotten egg.

In early autumn it produces small, stiff, pointed fruit. The clammy faded purple skin is delicate and inedible, and the soft blue flesh is sweet and very juicy. The gold seeds are small and are bunched at the top of the fruit.

The roots are long and grow straight down, and overall the tree is sturdy and rigid.

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

All of it is said to be part of one single, massive plant.
It can grow in even the most barren lands.
It is suitable for creating strong, durable textiles
