Bloodbloom

This colossal shrub grows up to 14 feet (4.3 meters) tall and lives for around 42 years. It is very susceptible to disease and insect infestation.

It has dozens of long and flexible, straight stems covered in hard, knobbly, yellow-brown bark, and the wood inside is mahogany-coloured.

The branches are short and thin with dozens of twigs that and are covered with small amounts of miniature, wide, leaves with wavy edges. The leaves themselves are cream on the edges and blood red at the center, frail and smooth.

In late summer it produces a handful of medium-sized, indigo blossoms with needle-like petals with a tube-like floral cup. They fall easily and have a scent whose strength depends on external factors, such as soil quality and rain frequency that smells like sweat.

In mid-autumn very large circular fruits ripen. The crispy pink skin is delicate and inedible, and the slightly crunchy caramel flesh is sweet and oily. The florescent green seed is tiny and sits at the end of the fruit.
