Bluepine

This small shrub grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall and lives for around 48 years. It is susceptible to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has dozens of stocky, crooked stems covered in delicate, smooth, pine-coloured bark, and the wood inside is pale brown-grey.

The branches are short stubs with dozens of twigs that and are covered with large amounts of large, needle-like, leaves with serrated edges. The leaves themselves are solid green with sky blue dots, frail and waxy.

In late spring it produces many large, muted green flowers with needle-like petals with a tube-like floral cup. They fall easily and have an intensely strong scent that smells like freshly baked bread.
