Bronzevine

Climbing plant type: Vine (Grows upwards by clinging to almost any surface.)

This massive vine is a very slow growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 2,100 feet (640.1 meters) and growing as high as 103 feet (31.4 meters).

It takes 22 years for the yellow or olive stems to mature, by which point they each have a diameter of 4.3 feet (1.3 meters) and are rough and prickly.

The crescent-shaped, smooth leaves reach up to 1.0 foot (30 cm) in length. They are generally bronze, and have smooth edges.

During late spring, the vine produces many clusters of small sky blue flowers, and during the mid-summer, after flowering, it produces excessive amounts of small fruits.

It absorbs an exceptionally large amount of water each day.
It is very rare outside of a particular area.
It is suitable for making baskets and the like
The leaves are bland but very healthy.
