Copperwood

This small tree grows up to 6 meters (19.7 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 87 years old. It is very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a long and flexible, straight trunk covered in paper-thin, silky, silver bark, and inside, the flexible wood is copper-coloured.

The excessive amount of branches are very short and thick and are covered with sparse amounts of crispy, small, slender, pointed leaves with irregular edges. The leaves themselves are found in lime and indigo varieties.

In late summer it forms small, crimson, tough-shelled seeds.

The roots are thick and spread across the surface, as well as underground, and overall the tree is rigid and brittle.

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