Silverberry

This small shrub grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall and lives for around 37 years. It is not very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has dozens of knobbly, straight stems covered in hard, wrinkled, silver and white bark, and the wood inside is gray.

The branches trail down to the ground that and are covered with large amounts of miniature, very thick, leaves with rounded edges. The leaves themselves are found in amber and beige varieties, sturdy and rough.

In late summer it produces several large, magenta flowers with sickle shaped petals. They detach easily and have no scent.
