Bloodvine

This big shrub grows up to 7 feet (2.1 meters) tall and lives for around 45 years. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has dozens of thick, curved stems covered in wrinkled, gray bark, and the wood inside is light brown.

The branches are short stubs with dozens of twigs that and are covered with very large amounts of giant, thin, leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are either blood red or pastel green, with lime dots, tough and crispy.

It produces lots of tiny, aquamarine flowers with heart-shaped shaped petals. They are sturdy and have a strong scent that smells like new books. In late spring it forms giantwhite aril (seeds with fleshy covers).
