Fruit Tree type: Coniferous (Stores water in its leaves)

This modest-sized fruit tree grows up to 14 feet (4.3 meters) tall and lives for up to 25 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 33 years old. It is very resistant to destructive insect infestation but susceptible to disease.

It has a slender, twisting trunk covered in thick, cracked, yellow bark, and inside, the hard wood is silver.

The tangled mess of branches are tall, rigid and upright and are covered with large amounts of small, very narrow and elongated leaves with serrated edges. The leaves themselves are magenta and light grey.

In early spring, it produces copious amounts of large, olive blossoms with 9 pointed petals with a tube-like floral cup. They are sturdy and have a delicate scent that smells like misty mornings.

In late autumn it produces tiny, 2 pointed fruit. The clammy amber skin is stretchy and edible when boiled; it is slightly sour, and the very soft silver flesh is sour and dry. The light brown seed is very large and sits at the end of the fruit.

The roots are fine and grow in a large web, and overall the tree is sturdy and difficult to uproot.

Forests of this species feature well-spaced trees, with grassy ground between them.

It is very rare outside of a particular area.
Before maturity, it can grow 0 per day.
