Spicy Brown
Fruit Tree type: Deciduous (Stores water in the thickened base of its stem)This large fruit tree grows up to 39 feet (11.9 meters) tall and lives for up to 40 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 70 years old. It is not very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.
It has a long and flexible, twisting trunk covered in delicate, smooth, silver and white bark, and inside, the soft wood is white with black speckles.
The branches are short, rigid and upright and are covered with sparse amounts of miniature, asymmetrical leaves with wavy edges. The leaves themselves are solid white with muted orange edges.
In early spring, it produces several medium-sized, yellow blossoms with 4 V-shaped shaped petals. They are hardy and have a mildly strong scent that smells like pepper.
In early autumn it produces tiny, stiff, pointed fruit. The smooth copper skin is tough and inedible, and the slightly crunchy brown flesh is spicy and juicy. The florescent yellow seeds are large and are bunched at the bottom of the fruit.
The roots grow as a near perfect mirror of the tree above, and overall the tree is rigid and brittle.
Forests of this species feature the trees packed together densely, with the space between them filled with thick undergrowth.
