Asuka tree

Asuka trees were a type of tree from the Outer Rim planet Akiva. Within its jungles, asuka trees grew connected to one central root network. They featured fat, broad leaves and crinkly blue flower blossoms. When capupi flies pollinated the asuka trees' blossoms, as their meal of choice, they secreted oil.

According to local legend on Akiva, one of the leaders of the Ahia-Ko civilization planted the asuka trees on Akiva by hand, and when she died and was laid to rest beneath the first tree to sprout—known as Salea's Hand—it began blooming red instead of blue. At some point by 3 ABY, a researcher studied the asuka trees on Akiva. In 4 ABY, New Republic pilot Norra Wexley and her son, Temmin Wexley, traveled to a landing pad that had several asuka trees growing nearby.
