Goldenleaf Pine

This short shrub grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall and lives for around 41 years. It is very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has several slender, straight stems covered in delicate, cracked, brown-green speckled bark, and the wood inside is silver.

The branches trail down to the ground with dozens of twigs that and are covered with very large amounts of tiny, thick, leaves with rounded edges. The leaves themselves are either pastel yellow, or white with gold dots, sturdy and leathery.

It produces a thick sheet of giant, light brown flowers with 3 pointed petals with a tube-like floral cup. They are very delicate and have a scent that varies in strength that smells like pot-purri. In midwinter it forms smallgreen, winged seeds that spin and fall nearby.
