Copper Tree

This modest-sized tree grows up to 58 meters (190.3 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 141 years old. It is susceptible to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a stocky, angular trunk covered in rough, brown-green bark, and inside, the light wood is brown.

The tangled mess of branches are short stubs and are covered with large amounts of clammy, tiny, asymmetrical leaves with jagged edges. The leaves themselves are copper and black.

In late summer it forms small, crimson seed pods.

The roots spread far and go deep underground, and overall the tree is rigid and brittle.

Forests of this species feature the trees packed together densely, with the space between filled with undergrowth.
