Copperbell

This big tree grows up to 83 meters (272.3 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 186 years old. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a stocky, crooked trunk covered in paper-thin, smooth, mahogany-coloured bark, and inside, the medium-dense wood is yellow-brown.

The numerous branches are tall, rigid and upright and are covered with copious amounts of clammy, giant, sickle shaped leaves with rounded edges. The leaves themselves are copper on the edges and violet at the center.

In late summer it forms large, cyan berries.

The roots are shallow and widely spread, and overall the tree is sturdy and difficult to uproot.

Forests of this species feature trees spaced far apart, with the space between them filled with thick undergrowth.
