Copperwood

This colossal tree grows up to 114 meters (374.0 feet) tall and lives for over 1,000 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 1756 years old. It is not very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a flexible, angular trunk covered in knobbly, burgundy bark, and inside, the medium-dense wood is dark brown.

The abundance of branches are short, rigid and upright, covered with thick bunches of giant, copper needles. The needles themselves are strong.

In late summer it produces medium-sized, crimson, winged seeds that float and land far away.

The roots form a tightly packed ball, and overall the tree is sturdy, flexible, and difficult to uproot or break.

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