The celia fruit tree (Na'vi name: tumpasuk meaning "red-orange berry") is a multi-trunked deciduous tree with long hanging vines from which grow massive seed pods.
Ecology[]

It is a squat, thick-trunked tree with multiple thick branches. It produces a 30cm long bulbous pod that holds a tendril-like strand of up to 100 edible seeds/berries that usually end with a big fruit. It is a common food source for tetrapteron and prolemuris.
Ethnobotany[]
The Na'vi gather the seed berries by climbing into the trees, dangling upside-down from the branches and cutting the strand out of the pod from the inside. Another Na'vi will be under the pod on the ground and will catch the falling seed berry strand in a woven net to not damage the ripe fruit.
