Copperwood

This modest-sized tree grows up to 28 meters (91.9 feet) tall and lives seemingly forever, with many known specimen being tens of thousands of years old. It is very resistant to disease but is susceptible to destructive insect infestation.

It has a flexible, slanted trunk covered in rough, copper-coloured bark, and inside, the flexible wood is yellow-brown.

The excessive amount of branches are very short and thin, covered with handfuls of tiny, washed-out orange needles. The needles themselves are rigid.

In late summer it produces medium-sized, slate, winged seeds that spin and fall nearby.

The roots spread far and go deep underground, and overall the tree is sturdy, flexible, and difficult to uproot or break.

Forests of this species feature the trees packed together, with patches of undergrowth between them.
