Silverbrush

This short shrub grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 107 years old. It is not very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has several long and flexible, wavy stems covered in smooth, silver bark, and the wood inside is burgundy-brown.

The branches are tall, rigid and upright with dozens of twigs that and are covered with very large amounts of giant, thick, leaves with serrated edges. The leaves themselves are yellow with lime tips, resilient and sticky.

In mid-summer it produces thousands of small, crimson flowers with circular petals with a trumpet-shaped floral cup. They are very delicate and have a strong scent that smells like apple.
