Caramelfern

This small shrub grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall and lives for around 65 years. It is susceptible to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has dozens of branched, crooked stems covered in very thick, waxy, light brown bark, and the wood inside is brown.

The branches trail down towards the ground that and are covered with handfuls of huge, asymmetrical, leaves with tattered edges. The leaves themselves are red on the sides and hazel at the center, rigid and leathery.

It produces large amounts of large, white flowers with 5 shield-shaped shaped petals. They are sturdy and have a powerful scent that smells like misty mornings. In midwinter it forms medium-sizedcaramel seed pods.
