Copperpine

This short shrub grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall and lives for around 74 years. It is very susceptible to disease and insect infestation.

It has numerous knobbly, straight stems covered in smooth, pine-coloured bark, and the wood inside is copper-coloured.

The branches trail down towards the ground that and are covered with large amounts of miniature, very narrow and elongated, leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are a shade of copper that gradient shifts to pale green at the top, robust and waxy.

In late summer it produces bunches of small, beige flowers with kidney-shaped shaped petals. They are sturdy and have a weak scent that smells like mango.
