Copper

Succulent type: Caudiciform (Stores water in the thickened base of its stem)

This big caudiciform grows up to 103 feet (31.4 meters) tall. The finger-like stem is copper and slate, and is covered in many rigid intense yellow spines. It has a slanted, round, yellow trunk atop a thick, gnarled ball of ridged, exposed roots. The branches are thick, gnarled and yellow-green and are very short and thin.

The toothed-edged, asymmetrical leaves are violet on the edges and bronze at the center. They are hardy, and are very difficult to pull away.

It is steady-growing, taking 3 years to reach maturity. Once mature, and only under the right conditions, several flowers with solid intense orange petals and a beige central disk grow at the top, reappearing after 8 years, but only when the conditions are right again. The flower head is largely flat with dozens of raised round-tipped petals. It has an overpowering scent that smells like onion.

The caudiciform's skin is thin, the peach flesh is waxy, and the red sap is thin.


It is suitable for creating strong, durable textiles
