Kolle

A fruit born on a tree of the same name. It is indigenous to xcheamo, and ever bearing. A kolle tree has all stages of fruit from bloom to ripe. Even in winter, this was the one thing that is always edible. They are hard to start from seed, but once established are as hard to kill as ivy. A ripe fruit comes easily into the hand, and the peel-like but fuzzy edible surface is a pale yellowy-green. Kolle is juicy, slightly sweet, and tastes like apple and blueberry.

Kolle is used as a base for most medical salves, such as the one Miara Mitsuki carried with her on a regular basis.

To grow a kolle tree, an entire fruit is planted in a large pot, and grown indoors until it's 3 feet tall. Before attaining this height, a plant has a 20% chance of survival. Once it has achieved 3 feet in height, it can be planted outside in a mostly sunny spot and will take about 10 years to reach maturity and produce fruit.
