Copperwood

This modest-sized tree grows up to 58 meters (190.3 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 636 years old. It is very susceptible to disease and insect infestation.

It has a narrow, straight trunk covered in thin, wrinkled, black with white speckled bark, and inside, the light wood is copper-coloured.

The abundance of branches trail down across the ground and are covered with copious amounts of crispy, giant, very thin leaves with serrated edges. The leaves themselves are black and dull green.

In early spring, it produces copious amounts of medium-sized, violet blossoms with spear shaped petals. They detach easily and have a soft scent that smells like citrus.

In late summer it forms large, sky blue berries.

The roots form a tightly packed ball, and overall the tree is sturdy, flexible, and difficult to uproot or break.

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