Copper

This average-sized fruit tree grows up to 20 feet (6.1 meters) tall and lives for up to 45 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 67 years old. It is very resistant to destructive insect infestation but susceptible to disease.

It has a very thick, slanted trunk covered in paper-thin, rough, brown bark, and inside, the very dense wood is white.

The branches trail down across the ground and are covered with copious amounts of tiny, long, tapering leaves with tattered edges. The leaves themselves are solid brown with amber zig-zags.

In early spring, it produces many balls of small, pink blossoms with long, narrow petals with a trumpet-shaped floral cup. They detach easily and have an overpowering scent that smells like marzipan.

In mid-autumn it produces tiny, oval fruit. The hairy copper skin is delicate and inedible, and the crunchy gold flesh is sweet and sour and dry. The gold seed is large and is in the centre of the fruit.

The roots are thick and spread across the surface, as well as underground, and overall the tree is sturdy and difficult to uproot.

Forests of this species feature the trees packed together, with the space between them filled with thick undergrowth.
