Copperfern

Tree type: Deciduous (Stores water in its stem)

This large tree grows up to 65 meters (213.3 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 154 years old. It is not very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a branched, wonky trunk covered in knobbly, white with black speckled bark, and inside, the hard wood is copper-coloured.

The tangled mess of branches trail down towards the ground and are covered with sparse amounts of waxy, miniature, sickle shaped leaves with irregular edges. The leaves themselves are solid faded purple with indigo streaks.

In late summer it forms giant, lime, winged seeds that float and land far away.

The roots grow as a near perfect mirror of the tree above, and overall the tree is sturdy and rigid.

Forests of this species feature the trees packed together densely, with patches of undergrowth between them.
