Copperbark

This short tree grows up to 2 meters (6.6 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 88 years old. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a long and flexible, straight trunk covered in hard, smooth, copper-coloured bark, and inside, the very light wood is silver.

The tangled mess of branches trail down towards the ground and are covered with large amounts of covered in fine hairs, tiny, needle-like leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are either dull green, or magenta with intense blue patches.

In late summer it forms small, hazel, shelled seeds.

The roots are thick and spread across the surface, as well as underground, and overall the tree is sturdy and rigid.

Forests of this species feature well-spaced trees, with patches of undergrowth between them.
