Bronzefern

This short tree grows up to 5 meters (16.4 feet) tall and lives seemingly forever, with many known specimen being tens of thousands of years old. It is very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a knobbly, twisting trunk covered in waxy, light brown bark, and inside, the very hard wood is pine-coloured.

The sparse amount of branches are very long and thick, with hundreds of twigs covered with sparse amounts of miniature, pink-red needles. The needles themselves are hardy.

In late summer it produces large, bronze aril (seeds with fleshy covers).

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

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