Redleaf

This big shrub grows up to 8 feet (2.4 meters) tall and lives for around 30 years. It is very resistant to disease but is susceptible to destructive insect infestation.

It has several narrow, curved stems covered in paper-thin, cracked, gray bark, and the wood inside is pine-coloured.

The branches are long and slender with thousands of twigs that and are covered with small bunches of huge, very thin, leaves with irregular edges. The leaves themselves are either red or vibrant green, with slate lines, resilient and leathery.

In mid-spring it produces large amounts of small, dark grey flowers with broad, flat petals. They are very delicate and have a delicate scent that smells like musk.
