Lilac

This average-sized fruit tree grows up to 12 feet (3.7 meters) tall and lives for up to 45 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 82 years old. It is very resistant to destructive insect infestation but susceptible to disease.

It has a stocky, curved trunk covered in ridged, burgundy and brown bark, and inside, the very dense wood is black with white speckles.

The sparse amount of branches are short stubs and are covered with very large amounts of large, stiff, pointed leaves with tattered edges. The leaves themselves are found in lilac and beige varieties.

In early spring, it produces many giant, blood red blossoms with long, narrow petals. They fall easily and have an overpowering scent that smells like vomit.

In mid-autumn it produces , pleated fruit. The soft turquoise skin is stretchy and bitter and savoury, and the very soft gentle purple flesh is sweet and powdery. The caramel seed is tiny and sits at the top of the fruit.

The roots are fine and grow in a large web, and overall the tree is sturdy and rigid.

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