Fern Tree
Fern trees are huge trees native to the cold climates of Ascor. A popular tree not only for its leaves and wood, the sap it produces is delicious and highly sought after. It is also a common ingredient to have in one's kitchen.
Basic Information
Anatomy
Fern tree leaves are pointed, spiky, with up to 30 ridges along each leaf. These leaves come in a variety of colours, anywhere from dark reds and burnt oranges to dark blues and purples. The bark is a soft, leathery texture, and is produced as a byproduct when farmed. The trunk of the tree is a soft orange colour, with darker rings inside it.
Growth Rate & Stages
Fern trees take some of the longest times to grow of any tree, up to 5 months. They appear as small saplings after a week of growth, and then will grow exponentially after that, up to 30 feet tall.
Sap
The sap of a fern tree can be extracted when the roots of the tree absorb too much water, and the water combines with various products within the trunk, and secretes a liquid substance. The sap can be used as fuel, and when heated and/or cooled again, can be consumed. It is a common item to have in a kitchen cupboard, tasting delicious with the majority of foods.
