Copperpine

This short tree grows up to 5 meters (16.4 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 83 years old. It is very resistant to disease but is susceptible to destructive insect infestation.

It has a flexible, curved trunk covered in very thick, cracked, pine-coloured bark, and inside, the hard wood is copper-coloured.

The sparse amount of branches trail down towards the ground and are covered with very large amounts of fuzzy, huge, 8 pointed leaves with irregular edges. The leaves themselves are solid bronze or lime, with peach edges.

In late summer it forms medium-sized, beige aril (seeds with fleshy covers).

The roots are thick and spread across the surface, as well as underground, and overall the tree is sturdy and difficult to uproot.

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