Caramel Tree

This average-sized tree grows up to 29 meters (95.1 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 653 years old. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a flexible, angular trunk covered in wrinkled, yellow-brown bark, and inside, the very dense wood is burgundy.

The small bunches of branches are long and thin and are covered with large amounts of fuzzy, tiny, perforated leaves with tattered edges. The leaves themselves are either olive or peach, with caramel streaks.

In early spring, it produces thick bunches of large, cyan blossoms with 6 pointed petals. They detach easily and have an intense scent that smells like cotton.

In late summer it forms medium-sized, subtle orange, winged seeds that float and land far away.

The roots are thick and spread across the surface, as well as underground, and overall the tree is sturdy and difficult to uproot.

Forests of this species feature well-spaced trees, with the space between filled with undergrowth.
