The Leatheryfruit Tree most resembles an apple tree. It has a normal growth cycle, which is as follows. Starting from spring and ending on fall, the tree grows and blooms, bears fruit, and becomes dormant for most of the remaining two seasons, respectively. The tree is most known for it’s beautiful blossoms, which are light blue and golden yellow in color, and about 5 inches in diameter. The fruit produced by the tree is 6 inches in diameter at its widest point, and about 4.5 inches in height. Blossom

Fruit Cross-Section
The Leatheryfruit Tree’s fruit has a very tough leathery exterior, which explains the common name for the tree. The skin of the fruit is a pale brown color, and is most easily penetrated by cutting, not tearing or chewing. The meat of the fruit is very stringy and sticky, with a red color to it. In the center of the fruit is a tough section where the seeds are kept. Despite a very sweet odor, the fruit is quite bitter in taste. If one eats too much of the fruit, it can cause a mild headache, but no serious harm.

If cooked and then dried, the fruit can be kept for a long time. Other than the fruit, very little of the Leatheryfruit tree is put to use by the chromatic.
