Twinevine

This modest-sized shrub grows up to 4 feet (1.2 meters) tall and lives for around 69 years. It is not very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has dozens of stocky, slanted stems covered in paper-thin, silky, light gray bark, and the wood inside is burgundy-brown.

The branches are short stubs with dozens of twigs that and are covered with very large amounts of large, stiff, pointed, leaves with tattered edges. The leaves themselves are a shade of pink-red that gradient shifts to peach at the top, sturdy and crispy.

It produces a thick sheet of tiny, black flowers with long, narrow petals with a trumpet-shaped floral cup. They are sturdy and have a strong scent that smells like fruity. In late autumn it forms tinygrey seed pods.
