Lilac

This massive fruit tree grows up to 71 feet (21.6 meters) tall and lives for up to 40 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 82 years old. It is very susceptible to disease and insect infestation.

It has a knobbly, straight trunk covered in waxy, light brown bark, and inside, the medium-dense wood is burgundy.

The small bunches of branches are tall, rigid and upright and are covered with copious amounts of miniature, slender, pointed leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are a shade of gray-green that gradient shifts to dull green at the top.

In early spring, it produces handfuls of large, white blossoms with needle-like petals with a bell-shaped floral cup. They detach easily and have an intensely strong scent that smells like meat.

In mid-autumn it produces small, finger-like fruit. The leathery white skin is thick and inedible, and the crunchy lilac flesh is spicy and oily. The dull green seed is very large and sits at the top of the fruit.

The roots are thick and spread across the surface, as well as underground, and overall the tree is sturdy and difficult to uproot.

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