Clinging Silkvine

This modest-sized vine is a steady-growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 28 feet (8.5 meters) and growing as high as 857 feet (261.2 meters).

It takes 4 years for the lime green stems to mature, by which point they have often fused together into ropes with a diameter of 4 inches (10 cm) and are smooth and fuzzy.

The sickle shaped, rough leaves reach up to 1.2 feet (36 cm) in length. They are either white, or pink with magenta patches, and have jagged edges.
