Copper

Succulent type: Caudiciform (Stores water in the thickened base of its stem)

This small caudiciform grows up to 6 feet (1.8 meters) tall. The sickle shaped stem is copper, and is dotted with small blood red spines. The wide, intense orange trunk can grow to as much as 6 feet (1.8 meters) in diameter. Its pink-red branches trail down to the ground.

The smooth-edged, stiff, pointed leaves are found in indigo and peach varieties. They are robust, and detach easily.

It is quick growing, taking 4 months to reach maturity. Once mature, a single flower with petals that are olive on the underside and vibrant yellow on the top grows at the top, reappearing once every 9 years. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of 23 curved petals. It has a weak scent that smells like honeysuckle.

The caudiciform's skin is tough, the indigo flesh is leathery, and the beige sap is thin.


Once on fire, it burns very quickly.
It is suitable for making baskets and the like
