Pine-Colored Coniferous Shrub

This big shrub grows up to 6 feet (1.8 meters) tall and lives for around 47 years. It is very resistant to disease but is susceptible to destructive insect infestation.

It has many long and flexible, straight stems covered in hard, wrinkled, dark green bark, and the wood inside is pine-coloured.

The branches trail down across the ground with thousands of twigs that and are covered with small bunches of large, spear shaped, leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are either white or green, with amber dots, strong and sticky.

In early spring it produces a handful of medium-sized, peach blossoms with kidney-shaped shaped petals. They detach easily and have a faint scent that smells like cheap aftershave.

In late winter long, curved fruits ripen. The sticky aquamarine skin is thick and extremely spicy, and the slightly crunchy red flesh is spicy and dry. The yellow seeds are tiny and are bunched at the top of the fruit.
