Magenta

This short fruit tree grows up to 5 feet (1.5 meters) tall and lives for up to 15 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 16 years old. It is not very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a branched, angular trunk covered in delicate, silky, yellow bark, and inside, the very light wood is dark brown.

The sparse amount of branches trail down across the ground and are covered with large amounts of giant, very narrow and elongated leaves with serrated edges. The leaves themselves are a shade of yellow-green that gradient shifts to grey at the top.

In early spring, it produces a handful of giant, pink blossoms with broad, flat petals. They detach easily and have an intense scent that smells like an ocean breeze.

In mid-autumn it produces , oval fruit. The rubbery magenta skin is peel-able and inedible, and the slightly crunchy blue flesh is sweet and sticky. The brown seeds are tiny and are bunched at the top of the fruit.

The roots form a tightly packed ball, and overall the tree is sturdy, flexible, and difficult to uproot or break.

Forests of this species feature the trees packed together densely, with grassy ground between them.
