Clinging Copper Tree

Tree type: Deciduous (Grows upwards by clinging to almost any surface.)

This large tree grows up to 86 meters (282.2 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 171 years old. It is very resistant to disease but is susceptible to destructive insect infestation.

It has a wide, angular trunk covered in wrinkled, brown and grey bark, and inside, the very light wood is copper-coloured.

The sparse amount of branches are long and slender and are covered with thick bunches of covered in fine hairs, large, slender, pointed leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are either florescent blue, or brown with cream lines.

In late summer it forms small, caramel berries.

The roots are thick and spread across the surface, as well as underground, and overall the tree is sturdy, flexible, and difficult to uproot or break.

Forests of this species feature well-spaced trees, with clear space between them.

All of it is said to be part of one single, massive plant.
It is suitable for creating tough, hard-wearing textiles
It usually houses a colony of beneficial insects.
