Aquamarine

This short fruit tree grows up to 6 feet (1.8 meters) tall and lives for up to 30 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 65 years old. It is very susceptible to disease and insect infestation.

It has a slender, crooked trunk covered in wrinkled, gray bark, and inside, the very light wood is dark brown.

The branches are very long and thin and are covered with thick bunches of giant, thick leaves with wavy edges. The leaves themselves are solid aquamarine with copper lines.

In early spring, it produces hundreds of tiny, cream blossoms with spear shaped petals with a bell-shaped floral cup. They detach easily and have an intense scent that smells like rotten meat.

In early winter it produces small, asymmetrical fruit. The sticky intense purple skin is peel-able and edible when cooked; it is sweet, and the crunchy cyan flesh is sweet and spicy and very juicy. The bronze seed is tiny and sits at the end of the fruit.

The roots are thick and spread across the surface, as well as underground, and overall the tree is sturdy, flexible, and difficult to uproot or break.

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