Magenta

This huge fruit tree grows up to 74 feet (22.6 meters) tall and lives for up to 20 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 51 years old. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a long and flexible, straight trunk covered in fine, waxy, brown and grey bark, and inside, the very light wood is dark brown.

The branches trail down to the ground and are covered with thick bunches of giant, wispy leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are found in green, muted red and blue varieties.

In early spring, it produces hundreds of giant, red blossoms with asymmetrical petals with a trumpet-shaped floral cup. They are sturdy and have a strong scent that smells like soap.

In late summer it produces , slender, 6 pointed fruit. The hairy deep orange skin is thin and inedible, and the slightly crunchy magenta flesh is sweet and very dry. The hazel seeds are large and are located in the centre of the fruit.

The roots are long and grow straight down, and overall the tree is sturdy and difficult to uproot.

Forests of this species feature the trees packed together densely, with clear space between them.
