Clinging Yewvine

This average-sized shrub grows up to 2 feet (61.0 cm) tall and lives for around 40 years. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has numerous slender, curved stems covered in delicate, knobbly, copper-coloured bark, and the wood inside is pale yellow.

The branches are long and thin with hundreds of twigs that and are covered with large amounts of small, wide, leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are solid aquamarine or dark brown, with azure splotches, strong and soft.

In late summer it produces copious amounts of tiny, blue flowers with oblong shaped petals. They are sturdy and have a powerful scent that smells like rotting meat.
