Copper-colored

Tree type: Deciduous (Stores water in its leaves)

This big tree grows up to 77 meters (252.6 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 139 years old. It is very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a very thick, straight trunk covered in ridged, silver and white bark, and inside, the hard wood is copper-coloured.

The branches are tall, rigid and upright and are covered with small bunches of rough, tiny, finger-like leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are either bright purple or black, with dark brown lines.

In late summer it forms giant, lime berries.

The roots form a tightly packed ball, and overall the tree is rigid and weak, and breaks apart easily.

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

It absorbs an exceptionally large amount of water each day.
It aggressively steals nutrients from other large plants (but not each other).
It is suitable for creating flexible, durable textiles
