Copperberry

This large fruit tree grows up to 34 feet (10.4 meters) tall and lives for up to 25 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 36 years old. It is susceptible to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a wide, twisting trunk covered in silky, dark brown bark, and inside, the soft wood is white with black speckles.

The excessive amount of branches are tall, rigid and upright and are covered with thick bunches of small, long, narrow leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are found in brown, indigo and silver varieties.

In early spring, it produces dozens of large, aquamarine blossoms with 7 oblong shaped petals. They fall easily and have a scent whose strength depends on external factors, such as soil quality and rain frequency that smells like burning wood.

In early summer it produces small, long, straight fruit. The fuzzy copper skin is thick and edible when roasted; it is sour, and the crunchy crimson flesh is sweet and salty and oily. The olive seeds are small and are scattered throughout the fruit.

The roots spread far and go deep underground, and overall the tree is rigid and brittle.

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