Copper

Tree type: Deciduous (Stores water in the thickened base of its stem)

This big tree grows up to 80 meters (262.5 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 599 years old. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a long and flexible, straight trunk covered in very thick, wrinkled, silver bark, and inside, the dense wood is burgundy-brown.

The excessive amount of branches trail down across the ground and are covered with large amounts of covered in fine hairs, tiny, sickle shaped leaves with jagged edges. The leaves themselves are solid copper with sky blue streaks.

In late summer it forms tiny, vivid red, winged seeds that float and land far away.

The roots grow as a near perfect mirror of the tree above, and overall the tree is rigid and brittle.

Forests of this species feature trees spaced far apart, with clear space between them.
