Chrysophyllum sanguinolentum
Chrysophyllum sanguinolentum is a tropical tree with a lush, dense crown and leaves that reveal a blood-red coloration when young, evoking imagery of its name. This color fades as the leaves mature, becoming a rich green. Small, inconspicuous flowers bloom, followed by edible fruits with a sweet taste, supporting local wildlife. The plant thrives in the understory of humid forests, its gleaming leaves capturing dappled sunlight.
