Aquamarine

This modest-sized fruit tree grows up to 11 feet (3.4 meters) tall and lives for up to 30 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 40 years old. It is very resistant to disease but is susceptible to destructive insect infestation.

It has a stocky, slanted trunk covered in thick, knobbly, brown and grey bark, and inside, the medium-dense wood is white with black speckles.

The sparse amount of branches are very long and slender and are covered with large amounts of miniature, slender, pointed leaves with wavy edges. The leaves themselves are solid green or bronze, with aquamarine streaks.

In early spring, it produces lots of large, peach blossoms with pleated petals. They detach easily and have an overpowering scent that smells like rotten egg.

In early winter it produces tiny, long, narrow fruit. The fuzzy beige skin is thin and inedible, and the crunchy cyan flesh is bland and sticky. The white seed is large and sits at the end of the fruit.

The roots are fine and grow in a large web, and overall the tree is rigid and weak, and breaks apart easily.

Forests of this species feature the trees packed together, with the space between them filled with thick undergrowth.
