Copper?

Fruit Tree type: Deciduous (Grows along the ground or other low surfaces.)

This big fruit tree grows up to 27 feet (8.2 meters) tall and lives for up to 25 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 35 years old. It is susceptible to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a sturdy, curved trunk covered in wrinkled, copper-coloured bark, and inside, the hard wood is brown.

The excessive amount of branches are very short, thin and wispy and are covered with large amounts of giant, stiff, pointed leaves with tattered edges. The leaves themselves are pastel green at the bottom and green with red lines at the top.

In early spring, it produces dozens of tiny, bronze blossoms with perforated petals with a bell-shaped floral cup. They are sturdy and have an intense scent that smells like fruity.

In early summer it produces tiny, wide fruit. The rubbery bronze skin is thin and inedible, and the very soft caramel flesh is sour and syrupy. The pastel red seed is very large and is in the centre of the fruit.

The roots spread far and go deep underground, and overall the tree is rigid and brittle.

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