Clinging Crimson?

This big fruit tree grows up to 45 feet (13.7 meters) tall and lives for up to 25 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 48 years old. It is very resistant to destructive insect infestation but susceptible to disease.

It has a thick, wonky trunk covered in thin, knobbly, yellow-brown bark, and inside, the very light wood is dark brown.

The numerous branches trail down to the ground and are covered with very large amounts of miniature, stiff, pointed leaves with serrated edges. The leaves themselves are either crimson or black, with blood red patches.

In early spring, it produces handfuls of giant, copper blossoms with cylindrical shaped petals. They are hardy and have a strong scent that smells like misty mornings.

In early winter it produces , cuboid fruit. The sticky pale blue skin is stretchy and inedible, and the soft dark brown flesh is bitter and very juicy. The slate seeds are large and are dotted around on the skin 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, with clear space between them.
