Copper Vine

Climbing plant type: Creeper (Grows along the ground or other low surfaces.)

This huge creeper is a very slow growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 2,718 feet (828.4 meters) and growing as high as 544 feet (165.8 meters).

It takes 38 years for the copper stems to mature, by which point they each have a diameter of 4.5 feet (1.4 meters) and remain soft and fleshy.

The wispy, covered in fine hairs leaves reach up to 2.1 feet (64 cm) in length. They are found in aquamarine and azure varieties, and have irregular edges.

During late spring, the creeper produces thousands of large brown flowers.

It is suitable for creating flexible, durable textiles
The sap is edible and overwhelmingly sour.
It is difficult to kill and will quickly regrow if it falls or if its limbs are knocked off.
