The Cotoneaster Abies is a scarce, huge plant and can be found only high in the mountains. It blooms once a year, for 4 months. It has small, barb shaped leaves, which are usually mint green. It also grows quite large flowers, which can be purple, dark pink, light pink and light bronze. These plants grow separated by a fair distance from each other, but it's easy, even without experience, to control and maintain their growth. They can be used as medicine. As a defense mechanism the Cotoneaster Abies has a thick, wooden stem. They rely on water currents to carry their seeds away to reproduce. Once pollinated, they grow fairly large, delicious fruits.
