Copper-coloured

This huge shrub grows up to 10 feet (3.0 meters) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 138 years old. It is very susceptible to disease and insect infestation.

It has many thick, straight stems covered in silky, black with white speckled bark, and the wood inside is copper-coloured.

The branches trail down to the ground with dozens of twigs that and are covered with large amounts of giant, needle-like, leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are light brown with turquoise tips, robust and leathery.

It produces lots of large, lime flowers with asymmetrical petals with a trumpet-shaped floral cup. They are sturdy and have a mildly strong scent that smells like freshly baked bread. In early summer it forms smallsilver aril (seeds with fleshy covers).
