Yellowbrush

This short shrub grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 144 years old. It is susceptible to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has many slender, slanted stems covered in hard, cracked, light brown bark, and the wood inside is dark brown.

The branches trail down to the ground with thousands of twigs that and are covered with small amounts of giant, very thick, leaves with toothed edges. The leaves themselves are solid bold yellow with vivid blue dots, flimsy and crispy.

In late spring it produces several small, violet flowers with needle-like petals. They detach easily and have a powerful scent that smells like cheese.
