Aquamarinefern

This small shrub grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall and lives for around 42 years. It is very susceptible to disease and insect infestation.

It has many branched, curved stems covered in hard, cracked, dark green bark, and the wood inside is brown.

The branches are very long and slender with thousands of twigs that and are covered with very large amounts of miniature, long, tapering, leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are grey and aquamarine, frail and crispy.

It produces a handful of tiny, olive flowers with circular shaped petals. They fall easily and have an overpowering scent that smells like cinnamon. In mid-autumn it forms medium-sizedolive, tough-shelled seeds.
