Copperleaf

Tree type: Deciduous (Stores water in its leaves)

This average-sized tree grows up to 42 meters (137.8 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 309 years old. It is very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a sturdy, wavy trunk covered in hard, smooth, copper-coloured bark, and inside, the medium-dense wood is pale yellow.

The excessive amount of branches trail down across the ground and are covered with large amounts of covered in fine hairs, large, very narrow and elongated leaves with jagged edges. The leaves themselves are copper and sky blue.

In late summer it forms tiny, beige, spiky-shelled seeds.

The roots form a tightly packed ball, and overall the tree is sturdy and rigid.

Forests of this species feature the trees packed together, with clear space between them.
