Silverberry

This short shrub grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 141 years old. It is very resistant to disease but is susceptible to destructive insect infestation.

It has dozens of sturdy, straight stems covered in delicate, smooth, silver and white bark, and the wood inside is dark brown.

The branches are short stubs with thousands of twigs that and are covered with small bunches of tiny, wide, leaves with jagged edges. The leaves themselves are found in subtle yellow and light brown varieties, hardy and clammy.

In early summer it produces thousands of giant, lilac flowers with oblong shaped petals. They are sturdy and have a soft scent that smells like cinnamon.
