Bronze

Tree type: Deciduous (Grows along the ground or other low surfaces.)

This small tree grows up to 5 meters (16.4 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 155 years old. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a stocky, slanted trunk covered in waxy, black bark, and inside, the very dense wood is white with black speckles.

The branches trail down across the ground and are covered with copious amounts of sticky, tiny, asymmetrical leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are bronze and orange.

In late summer it forms large, dark brown, shelled seeds.

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

Forests of this species feature well-spaced trees, with the space between them filled with thick undergrowth.

It only grows on the most fertile lands.
Several parts of the shrub have medicinal properties.
It is suitable for use as a construction material
