Copperleaf

This large tree grows up to 67 meters (219.8 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 415 years old. It is very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a very thick, straight trunk covered in paper-thin, silky, dark brown bark, and inside, the very hard wood is copper-coloured.

The tangled mess of branches trail down across the ground and are covered with copious amounts of clammy, small, wispy leaves with toothed edges. The leaves themselves are found in intense yellow, amber and aquamarine varieties.

In late summer it forms tiny, amber berries.

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

Forests of this species feature well-spaced trees, with the space between them filled with thick undergrowth.
