Twisted Branches

Tree peonies have twisted and convoluted branches with rugged bark. Even in winter, without leaves or flowers, they have an interesting shape.

I've never heard of tree peonies. Yes I see, the branches do look interesting.

@bruni Unlike herbaceous peonies that die back to the ground each year they have a woody structure that remains and grows bigger over the years. The flowers also tend to be larger than the regular peonies.
