Aquamarinebell

This short shrub grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall and lives for around 46 years. It is susceptible to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has numerous long and flexible, slanted stems covered in delicate, wrinkled, dark brown bark, and the wood inside is light brown.

The branches are very long and slender with dozens of twigs that and are covered with small amounts of tiny, wispy, leaves with toothed edges. The leaves themselves are aquamarine on the sides and lilac at the center, rigid and fuzzy.

In late spring it produces many bunches of medium-sized, peach blossoms with pleated petals with a bell-shaped floral cup. They are very delicate and have an intense scent that smells like a woman.

In late winter large oblong fruits ripen. The sticky magenta skin is peel-able and inedible, and the crunchy aquamarine flesh is salty and powdery. The bronze seed is large and sits at the end of the fruit.
