Although this crop looks like a vegetable, it is essentially a shrub.
"It survives for many years?" Gaven was taken aback; this was something he hadn't considered, "Is there a difference between perennial Styrak bushes and those of the current year? When used as fish bait, which do the fish prefer? Is there a difference in nutrients?"
"Fish mainly eat Styrak bushes of the current year. Once they are over a year old, most fish will not eat them anymore because they become too woody and many fish can't bite into them. However, large aquatic animals like Dragon Turtles prefer perennial Styrak bushes; they swallow them whole and digest them slowly."
