Clinging Conifer

Shrub type: Coniferous (Grows upwards by clinging to almost any surface.)

This giant shrub grows up to 10 feet (3.0 meters) tall and lives for around 97 years. It is susceptible to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has numerous flexible, curved stems covered in thin, silky, brown bark, and the wood inside is burgundy-brown.

The branches trail down towards the ground that and are covered with large amounts of tiny, fan-like, leaves with wavy edges. The leaves themselves are either florescent orange or grey, with gold dots, resistant and leathery.

In mid-summer it produces lots of giant, blue flowers with wide petals with a tube-like floral cup. They detach easily and have an intense scent that smells like glue.

It absorbs an exceptionally large amount of water each day.
It is suitable for creating tough, hard-wearing textiles
It comes in 20 varieties, each with a different leaf colour.
