Magenta

This small fruit tree grows up to 7 feet (2.1 meters) tall and lives for up to 15 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 21 years old. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a flexible, curved trunk covered in fine, cracked, light gray bark, and inside, the hard wood is black with white speckles.

The sparse amount of branches are short, rigid and upright and are covered with thick bunches of tiny, sickle shaped leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are generally magenta.

In early spring, it produces large amounts of giant, brilliant purple blossoms with umbrella-shaped shaped petals. They are sturdy and have a delicate scent that smells like a man.

In late summer it produces tiny, long, straight fruit. The crispy vibrant red skin is stretchy and edible when roasted; it is spicy, and the very soft aquamarine flesh is sweet and syrupy. The beige seed is small and sits at the top of the fruit.

The roots form a tightly packed ball, and overall the tree is rigid and brittle.

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