Indigovine

This average-sized shrub grows up to 3 feet (91.4 cm) tall and lives for around 35 years. It is very susceptible to disease and insect infestation.

It has several slender, straight stems covered in very thick, cracked, dark gray bark, and the wood inside is pine-coloured.

The branches are very long and slender with dozens of twigs that and are covered with copious amounts of giant, very thick, leaves with rounded edges. The leaves themselves are olive with red tips, resistant and waxy.

In late spring it produces clusters of tiny, indigo blossoms with circular shaped petals. They are hardy and have an intense scent that smells like leather.

In late autumn small cuboid fruits ripen. The sticky red skin is peel-able and sweet, and the very soft gold flesh is sweet and juicy. The slate seed is very large and is in the centre of the fruit.
