Azureberry Tree

This average-sized fruit tree grows up to 16 feet (4.9 meters) tall and lives for up to 45 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 73 years old. It is very resistant to destructive insect infestation but susceptible to disease.

It has a knobbly, twisting trunk covered in wrinkled, dark gray bark, and inside, the dense wood is burgundy.

The branches trail down to the ground and are covered with large amounts of small, long, narrow leaves with tattered edges. The leaves themselves are either pink or slate, with magenta patches.

In early spring, it produces balls of giant, azure blossoms with many layers of petals with a trumpet-shaped floral cup. They fall easily and have an overpowering scent that smells like vanilla.

In mid-summer it produces , slender, 7 pointed fruit. The fuzzy azure skin is thick and sour, and the soft cyan flesh is sweet and oily. The caramel 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, flexible, and difficult to uproot or break.

Forests of this species feature the trees packed together, with patches of undergrowth between them.
