Vomitus Shrub

Shrub type: Deciduous (Grows along the ground or other low surfaces.)

This short shrub grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall and lives for around 35 years. It is susceptible to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has several sturdy, curved stems covered in delicate, cracked, light brown bark, and the wood inside is white.

The branches are long and thin with hundreds of twigs that and are covered with small amounts of tiny, sickle shaped, leaves with serrated edges. The leaves themselves are either aquamarine or hazel, with olive zig-zags, light and smooth.

In early spring it produces thick bunches of small, blue blossoms with long, tapering petals with a bell-shaped floral cup. They fall easily and have a weak scent that smells like vomit.

In late autumn large stiff, pointed fruits ripen. The waxy black skin is delicate and inedible, and the soft cyan flesh is extremely sour and very juicy. The green seeds are small and are bunched at the bottom of the fruit.

It can grow in even the most barren lands.
It is suitable for making baskets and the like
All of it is said to be part of one single, massive plant.
The bark is frequently covered in moss.
