Gray-Green

Fruit Tree type: Deciduous (Grows along the ground or other low surfaces.)

This small fruit tree grows up to 5 feet (1.5 meters) tall and lives for up to 30 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 73 years old. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a very thick, angular trunk covered in thick, knobbly, pine-coloured bark, and inside, the dense wood is black with white speckles.

The branches are tall, rigid and upright and are covered with thick bunches of giant, very narrow and elongated leaves with tattered edges. The leaves themselves are a shade of gray-green and slate that gradient shifts to orange at the top.

In early spring, it produces large amounts of tiny, hazel blossoms with finger-like petals. They are hardy and have a scent whose strength depends on external factors, such as soil quality and rain frequency that smells like apple.

In early winter it produces tiny, long, narrow fruit. The smooth pink skin is stretchy and inedible, and the crunchy brown flesh is salty and syrupy. The bronze seed is tiny and sits at the top of the fruit.

The roots are shallow and grow straight down, and overall the tree is sturdy and rigid.

Forests of this species feature well-spaced trees, with the space between filled with undergrowth.

It makes a distinctive sound when the wind blows through it.
It is suitable for creating fine, soft textiles
