Caramel

This modest-sized fruit tree grows up to 16 feet (4.9 meters) tall and lives for up to 30 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 74 years old. It is not very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a long and flexible, angular trunk covered in delicate, knobbly, dark brown bark, and inside, the flexible wood is yellow-brown.

The sparse amount of branches are tall, rigid and upright and are covered with small amounts of large, very thin leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are caramel and blood red.

In early spring, it produces a handful of small, bold purple blossoms with 8 circular shaped petals. They detach easily and have a scent whose strength depends on external factors, such as soil quality and rain frequency that smells like fish.

In early winter it produces very large, wide fruit. The sticky brown skin is peel-able and edible when roasted; it is spicy, and the soft bronze flesh is sour and oily. The orange seed is large and sits at the end of the fruit.

The roots are thick and spread across the surface, as well as 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 grassy ground between them.
