Caramel Twigbrush

This short shrub grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall and lives for around 86 years. It is very resistant to destructive insect infestation but susceptible to disease.

It has dozens of wide, straight stems covered in thick, waxy, burgundy bark, and the wood inside is dark brown.

The branches are short stubs with thousands of twigs that and are covered with small amounts of miniature, perforated, leaves with jagged edges. The leaves themselves are found in bright orange, brilliant blue and caramel varieties, resilient and sticky.

In mid-spring it produces clusters of medium-sized, olive flowers with perforated petals with a trumpet-shaped floral cup. They fall easily and have a strong scent that smells like marzipan.
