Bloodberry

This average-sized fruit tree grows up to 12 feet (3.7 meters) tall and lives for up to 45 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 60 years old. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a sturdy, straight trunk covered in fine, cracked, burgundy bark, and inside, the light wood is black.

The branches are very short and thin and are covered with very large amounts of tiny, asymmetrical leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are generally blood red.

In early spring, it produces a handful of tiny, hazel blossoms with perforated petals with a bell-shaped floral cup. They fall easily and have a scent whose strength depends on external factors, such as soil quality and rain frequency that smells like a man.

In early winter it produces , triangular fruit. The rough vivid orange skin is tough and inedible, and the soft cream flesh is sweet and savoury and sticky. The slate seeds are large and are bunched at the bottom of the fruit.

The roots are shallow and grow straight down, and overall the tree is sturdy and rigid.

Forests of this species feature trees spaced far apart, with the space between them filled with thick undergrowth.
