Silverberry

This big shrub grows up to 9 feet (2.7 meters) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 178 years old. It is very resistant to destructive insect infestation but susceptible to disease.

It has dozens of long and flexible, straight stems covered in knobbly, silver and white bark, and the wood inside is yellow-brown.

The branches are very short and thin that and are covered with small amounts of giant, wide, leaves with ripped edges. The leaves themselves are either washed-out blue, or white with violet lines, robust and rough.

It produces a thick sheet of small, peach flowers with long, tapering petals with a tube-like floral cup. They detach easily and have a strong scent that smells like apple. In late summer it forms tinyyellow, spiky-shelled seeds.
