Copperwood

This small tree grows up to 3 meters (9.8 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 251 years old. It is susceptible to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a very thick, straight trunk covered in paper-thin, ridged, silver and white bark, and inside, the light wood is copper-coloured.

The branches are short and thick and are covered with large amounts of clammy, tiny, thin leaves with tattered edges. The leaves themselves are found in drab green and copper varieties.

In late summer it forms medium-sized, black, tough-shelled seeds.

The roots grow as a near perfect mirror of the tree above, and overall the tree is sturdy, flexible, and difficult to uproot or break.

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