Copperwood

This huge tree grows up to 114 meters (374.0 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 96 years old. It is very susceptible to disease and insect infestation.

It has a sturdy, straight trunk covered in fine, wrinkled, copper-coloured bark, and inside, the light wood is white with black speckles.

The small handful of branches are short, rigid and upright and are covered with handfuls of soft, huge, long, narrow leaves with wavy edges. The leaves themselves are a shade of pink-red that gradient shifts to amber at the top.

In early spring, it produces several small, caramel blossoms with many layers of petals. They are sturdy and have an overpowering scent that smells like something putrid.

In late summer it forms giant, black, winged seeds that spin and fall nearby.

The roots are long and grow straight down, and overall the tree is sturdy, flexible, and difficult to uproot or break.

Forests of this species feature the trees packed together, with clear space between them.
