Burgundy Willow

This short shrub grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall and lives for around 93 years. It is not very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has many thick, straight stems covered in very thick, rough, brown bark, and the wood inside is burgundy.

The branches trail down to the ground with hundreds of twigs that and are covered with sparse amounts of small, finger-like, leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are generally crimson, flimsy and smooth.

In late spring it produces many small, slate flowers with asymmetrical petals. They are hardy and have a mildly strong scent that smells like coconut.
