Aquamara Fruit Tree

Fruit Tree type: Deciduous (Stores water in the thickened base of its stem)

This average-sized fruit tree grows up to 12 feet (3.7 meters) tall and lives for up to 40 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 60 years old. It is very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a branched, slanted trunk covered in silky, dark brown bark, and inside, the light wood is black with white speckles.

The excessive amount of branches are long and thick and are covered with large amounts of miniature, oblong leaves with jagged edges. The leaves themselves are aquamarine and subtle yellow.

In early spring, it produces thick bunches of tiny, aquamarine blossoms with many layers of petals with a trumpet-shaped floral cup. They are sturdy and have a scent that varies in strength that smells like candle wax.

In late summer it produces , fan-like fruit. The fuzzy dull purple skin is tough and edible when boiled; it is spicy and savoury, and the very soft blue flesh is sweet and spicy and syrupy. The silver seed is very large and sits at the top of the fruit.

The roots are thick and spread across the surface, as well as underground, and overall the tree is rigid and brittle.

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


It is suitable for making baskets and the like
