Copperleaf

This large tree grows up to 81 meters (265.8 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 699 years old. It is very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a branched, twisting trunk covered in silky, pine-coloured bark, and inside, the hard wood is copper-coloured.

The branches trail down towards the ground and are covered with large amounts of leathery, huge, broad, flat leaves with ripped edges. The leaves themselves are beige on the edges and hazel at the center.

In late summer it forms small, bronze, winged seeds that float and land far away.

The roots are long and grow straight down, and overall the tree is sturdy and rigid.

Forests of this species feature trees spaced far apart, with patches of undergrowth between them.
