Blacktwig

Shrub type: Deciduous (Grows upwards by clinging to almost any surface.)

This large shrub grows up to 8 feet (2.4 meters) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 126 years old. It is very susceptible to disease and insect infestation.

It has dozens of thick, wonky stems covered in delicate, cracked, black with white speckled bark, and the wood inside is black.

The branches are very long and thin with hundreds of twigs that and are covered with sparse amounts of large, very narrow and elongated, leaves with toothed edges. The leaves themselves are solid caramel with green edges, resilient and soft.

In late summer it produces many small, ashy red flowers with wide petals. They detach easily and have a delicate scent that smells like misty mornings.

It can grow in even the most barren lands.
It comes in 76 varieties.
It is suitable for creating fine, soft textiles
