Copperberry

Fruit Tree type: Coniferous (Grows upwards by winding itself around other objects and plants.)

This average-sized fruit tree grows up to 10 feet (3.0 meters) tall and lives for up to 20 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 45 years old. It is very susceptible to disease and insect infestation.

It has a narrow, straight trunk covered in very thick, wrinkled, copper-coloured bark, and inside, the medium-dense wood is black.

The branches trail down across the ground and are covered with small bunches of miniature, long, narrow leaves with wavy edges. The leaves themselves are a shade of lime green that gradient shifts to indigo at the top.

In early spring, it produces thick bunches of giant, turquoise blossoms with broad, flat petals with a tube-like floral cup. They are hardy and have a powerful scent that smells like cherry.

In early summer it produces , cuboid fruit. The fuzzy red skin is tough and edible when cooked; it is bitter and sour, and the crunchy yellow flesh is sweet and dry. The white seeds are small and are bunched at the bottom of the fruit.

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

Forests of this species feature trees spaced far apart, with clear space between them.

Ivy often grows along the trunk.
