Yellowbell

This short shrub grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall and lives for around 73 years. It is very resistant to destructive insect infestation but susceptible to disease.

It has several branched, wavy stems covered in fine, cracked, gray bark, and the wood inside is yellow.

The branches trail down towards the ground with hundreds of twigs that and are covered with sparse amounts of large, stiff, pointed, leaves with serrated edges. The leaves themselves are generally faded yellow, flimsy and waxy.

It produces thousands of medium-sized, olive flowers with needle-like petals with a bell-shaped floral cup. They fall easily and have a delicate scent that smells like marzipan. In late winter it forms medium-sizedgreen, shelled seeds.
