Coilvine

This big shrub grows up to 5 feet (1.5 meters) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 190 years old. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has numerous narrow, straight stems covered in rough, dark brown bark, and the wood inside is burgundy.

The branches are tall, rigid and upright with hundreds of twigs that and are covered with large amounts of miniature, thick, leaves with ripped edges. The leaves themselves are lilac at the bottom and blood red with red patches at the top, rigid and leathery.

In early summer it produces many balls of medium-sized, white blossoms with long, narrow petals with a trumpet-shaped floral cup. They fall easily and have a faint scent that smells like vomit.

In mid-autumn circular fruits ripen. The hairy yellow skin is thin and sweet and sour, and the slightly crunchy sky blue flesh is sour and dry. The white seed is large and sits at the end of the fruit.
