Clinging Umbrella Bush

This small shrub grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 187 years old. It is very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has dozens of slender, curved stems covered in very thick, waxy, light gray bark, and the wood inside is mahogany-coloured.

The branches are short stubs with hundreds of twigs that and are covered with large amounts of huge, umbrella-shaped, leaves with irregular edges. The leaves themselves are drab green with light grey tips, resistant and rough.

It produces dozens of giant, grey flowers with fan-like petals. They are sturdy and have a scent whose strength depends on external factors, such as soil quality and rain frequency that smells like apple. In late autumn it forms largegold, winged seeds that float and land far away.
