Copperberry

This average-sized fruit tree grows up to 13 feet (4.0 meters) tall and lives for up to 15 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 29 years old. It is very resistant to disease but is susceptible to destructive insect infestation.

It has a flexible, straight trunk covered in thin, waxy, copper-coloured bark, and inside, the very dense wood is gray.

The small bunches of branches trail down across the ground and are covered with large amounts of small, long, narrow leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are red on the sides and azure at the center.

In early spring, it produces a thick sheet of tiny, brown blossoms with asymmetrical petals. They are sturdy and have a faint scent that smells like pepper.

In late summer it produces , finger-like fruit. The smooth faded purple skin is delicate and inedible, and the very soft red flesh is savoury and juicy. The green seed is large and is in the centre of the fruit.

The roots grow as a near perfect mirror of the tree above, and overall the tree is sturdy, flexible, and difficult to uproot or break.

Forests of this species feature the trees packed together, with patches of undergrowth between them.
