Copperwood

Shrub type: Deciduous (Grows upwards by winding itself around other objects and plants.)

This giant shrub grows up to 14 feet (4.3 meters) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 179 years old. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has many sturdy, straight stems covered in fine, cracked, black bark, and the wood inside is copper-coloured.

The branches are very long and thin with dozens of twigs that and are covered with small bunches of huge, wide, leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are lime green with blue tips, light and crispy.

In early spring it produces bunches of small, hazel flowers with slender, pointed petals with a tube-like floral cup. They are very delicate and have an intensely strong scent that smells like garlic.

It is bio-luminescent.
It is difficult to kill and will quickly regrow if it falls or if its limbs are knocked off.
The leaves and petals are often used to make tea.
