Copper

Fruit Tree type: Coniferous (Grows and flowers repeatedly for more than two years)

This massive fruit tree grows up to 63 feet (19.2 meters) tall and lives for up to 25 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 39 years old. It is very resistant to destructive insect infestation but susceptible to disease.

It has a long and flexible, wavy trunk covered in cracked, silver bark, and inside, the very light wood is black.

The branches are short, rigid and upright and are covered with small amounts of giant, broad, flat leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are gold and black.

In early spring, it produces large amounts of medium-sized, copper blossoms with wide petals. They fall easily and have a faint scent that smells like sweat.

In early summer it produces small, needle-like fruit. The smooth crimson skin is thick and edible when boiled; it is sweet and bitter, and the very soft purple flesh is sweet and juicy. The bold orange seeds are large and are located in the centre of the fruit.

The roots form a tightly packed ball, and overall the tree is rigid and weak, and breaks apart easily.

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

Before maturity, it can grow 0 per day.
It coexists peacefully with other plants.
It is suitable for creating tough, hard-wearing textiles
