Cyan Fruit Tree

This small fruit tree grows up to 8 feet (2.4 meters) tall and lives for up to 20 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 49 years old. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a sturdy, straight trunk covered in very thick, rough, light brown bark, and inside, the medium-dense wood is light brown.

The branches trail down towards the ground and are covered with large amounts of small, needle-like leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are cyan and amber.

In early spring, it produces copious amounts of small, bronze blossoms with spear shaped petals with a trumpet-shaped floral cup. They are hardy and have an overpowering scent that smells like lemon.

In early autumn it produces large, hourglass-shaped fruit. The smooth peach skin is thin and edible when cooked; it is bitter, and the very soft red flesh is spicy and sour and oily. The red seed is small and is in the centre of the fruit.

The roots spread far and go deep underground, and overall the tree is sturdy, flexible, and difficult to uproot or break.

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