Copperwood

This short tree grows up to 5 meters (16.4 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 625 years old. It is very resistant to destructive insect infestation but susceptible to disease.

It has a very thick, twisting trunk covered in waxy, burgundy and brown bark, and inside, the light wood is gray.

The branches are short, rigid and upright and are covered with very large amounts of covered in fine hairs, miniature, flame-shaped leaves with jagged edges. The leaves themselves are generally copper.

In late summer it forms tiny, aquamarine berries.

The roots grow as a near perfect mirror of the tree above, and overall the tree is sturdy and rigid.

Forests of this species feature the trees packed together, with clear space between them.
