Copperfern

This small shrub grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall and lives for around 75 years. It is very resistant to disease but is susceptible to destructive insect infestation.

It has several slender, straight stems covered in thick, ridged, copper-coloured bark, and the wood inside is burgundy.

The branches are very short and thin that and are covered with very large amounts of large, wispy, leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are pale purple and deep orange, rigid and crispy.

It produces several medium-sized, hazel flowers with circular petals. They detach easily and have a scent whose strength depends on external factors, such as soil quality and rain frequency that smells like freshly baked bread. In late winter it forms medium-sizedred, spiky-shelled seeds.
