Copperwood

This large tree grows up to 69 meters (226.4 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 66 years old. It is very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a slender, straight trunk covered in very thick, rough, copper-coloured bark, and inside, the dense wood is copper-coloured.

The small bunches of branches are long and thick and are covered with large amounts of rough, small, long, narrow leaves with wavy edges. The leaves themselves are a shade of emerald that gradient shifts to hazel at the top.

In early spring, it produces many clusters of tiny, cyan blossoms with sickle shaped petals with a trumpet-shaped floral cup. They are hardy and have a faint scent that smells like coffee.

In late summer it forms small, green berries.

The roots spread far and go deep underground, and overall the tree is sturdy, flexible, and difficult to uproot or break.

Forests of this species feature the trees packed together, with the space between them filled with thick undergrowth.
