Bronzeleaf

Shrub type: Coniferous (Sheds its leaves in winter)

This large shrub grows up to 6 feet (1.8 meters) tall and lives for around 45 years. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has dozens of stocky, wavy stems covered in very thick, wrinkled, yellow-brown bark, and the wood inside is light brown.

The branches trail down towards the ground that and are covered with small bunches of giant, circular, leaves with ripped edges. The leaves themselves are solid faded orange with amber patches, sturdy and waxy.

It produces hundreds of small, bronze flowers with many layers of petals with a trumpet-shaped floral cup. They fall easily and have a delicate scent that smells like warm milk. In late winter it forms smallbronze, tough-shelled seeds.

It aggressively steals nutrients from other large plants (but not each other).
It is suitable for creating flexible, durable textiles
