Copperleaf

This short tree grows up to 3 meters (9.8 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 376 years old. It is susceptible to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a knobbly, twisting trunk covered in paper-thin, silky, copper-coloured bark, and inside, the hard wood is white.

The branches are tall, rigid and upright and are covered with small amounts of covered in fine hairs, small, slender, pointed leaves with ripped edges. The leaves themselves are lilac and azure.

In late summer it forms giant, bronze, shelled seeds.

The roots form a tightly packed ball, and overall the tree is sturdy and rigid.

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