Aquamarine Fruit Tree

Fruit Tree type: Coniferous (Stores water in its stem)

This average-sized fruit tree grows up to 18 feet (5.5 meters) tall and lives for up to 30 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 66 years old. It is very susceptible to disease and insect infestation.

It has a slender, wavy trunk covered in wrinkled, mahogany-coloured bark, and inside, the soft wood is pine-coloured.

The branches are very short and thin and are covered with copious amounts of giant, finger-like leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are found in beige and florescent yellow varieties.

In early spring, it produces balls of small, florescent purple blossoms with stiff, pointed petals. They fall easily and have a weak scent that smells like cherry.

In late summer it produces , circular fruit. The soft aquamarine skin is stretchy and sweet, and the slightly crunchy turquoise flesh is salty and dry. The caramel seed is large and sits at the end of the fruit.

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

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

It aggressively steals nutrients from other large plants (but not each other).
It is suitable for creating fine, soft textiles
