Spicebark Arbor

This huge fruit tree grows up to 61 feet (18.6 meters) tall and lives for up to 30 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 62 years old. It is very susceptible to disease and insect infestation.

It has a flexible, straight trunk covered in thick, knobbly, brown bark, and inside, the light wood is mahogany-coloured.

The excessive amount of branches are tall, rigid and upright and are covered with sparse amounts of huge, thick leaves with serrated edges. The leaves themselves are found in green and amber varieties.

In early spring, it produces hundreds of large, crimson blossoms with sickle shaped petals with a tube-like floral cup. They are very delicate and have a delicate scent that smells like cinnamon.

In early autumn it produces tiny, finger-like fruit. The soft grey skin is thin and edible when cooked; it is sweet, and the crunchy dull red flesh is spicy and very dry. The beige seed is large and sits at the end of the fruit.

The roots grow as a near perfect mirror of the tree above, and overall the tree is rigid and weak, and breaks apart easily.

Forests of this species feature the trees packed together, with grassy ground between them.
