Blueberry Nightshade

This small shrub grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 163 years old. It is very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has several flexible, crooked stems covered in fine, smooth, white with black speckled bark, and the wood inside is pale brown.

The branches are long and thin with dozens of twigs that and are covered with handfuls of huge, thin, leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are brilliant blue at the bottom and beige with washed-out red lines at the top, flimsy and sticky.

It produces many small, brown flowers with 5 pointed petals with a tube-like floral cup. They are very delicate and have a weak scent that smells like rotting meat. In early summer it forms medium-sizedyellow berries.
