Copper

This short fruit tree grows up to 7 feet (2.1 meters) tall and lives for up to 30 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 85 years old. It is very resistant to destructive insect infestation but susceptible to disease.

It has a very thick, wonky trunk covered in waxy, light brown bark, and inside, the medium-dense wood is gray.

The branches are tall, rigid and upright and are covered with large amounts of small, long, narrow leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are copper and blue.

In early spring, it produces a handful of giant, peach blossoms with 6 kidney-shaped shaped petals. They are sturdy and have a strong scent that smells like rotten meat.

In mid-summer it produces small, triangular fruit. The hairy black skin is tough and inedible, and the slightly crunchy gold flesh is savoury and very juicy. The silver seed is very large and sits at the end of the fruit.

The roots are shallow and widely spread, and overall the tree is sturdy and rigid.

Forests of this species feature the trees packed together, with grassy ground between them.
