Blueberry

Succulent type: Caudiciform (Stores water in the thickened base of its stem)

This small caudiciform grows up to 10 feet (3.0 meters) tall. The narrow stem is dull blue or dark brown, and is covered in handfuls of flexible beige spines. It has a twisting, wide, gold trunk atop a flat platform of silky, exposed roots. The branches are narrow and gray-green and are very short, thin and wispy.

The irregular-edged, thin leaves are either dark brown or orange, with sky blue splotches. They are light, and take some effort to detach.

It is steady-growing, taking 2 years to reach maturity. Once mature, and only under the right conditions, several flowers with alternating petals of crimson and lilac, with an indigo central disk grow at the top, reappearing after 5 years, but only when the conditions are right again. The flower head is shaped like a sphere made up of 7 widely spaced, round-tipped petals. It has a soft scent that smells like warm cookies.

The caudiciform's skin is rock-hard, the pink flesh is leathery, and the light grey sap is thin and causes upset stomachs if consumed.
