Blueberry Shrub

This short shrub grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall and lives for around 37 years. It is very susceptible to disease and insect infestation.

It has dozens of long and flexible, straight stems covered in waxy, mahogany-coloured bark, and the wood inside is pale brown.

The branches trail down to the ground with hundreds of twigs that and are covered with very large amounts of giant, finger-like, leaves with irregular edges. The leaves themselves are solid blue with caramel patches, durable and soft.

It produces several small, pink flowers with finger-like petals with a trumpet-shaped floral cup. They are very delicate and have a weak scent that smells like faeces. In late winter it forms tinyamber berries.
