Climbing Caramelvine

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

This short vine is a very fast growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 16 feet (4.9 meters) and growing as high as 75 feet (22.9 meters). It prefers to grow on trees.

It takes 3 months for the orange-yellow stems to mature, by which point they have tangled themselves into thick mats with a diameter of 1 cm (0.4 inches) and are rough and gnarled.

The spear shaped, crispy leaves reach up to 2 inches (5 cm) in length. They are generally black, and have serrated edges.

During late spring, the vine produces large amounts of tiny caramel flowers.

It coexists peacefully with other plants.
It is said to be able to live for hundreds of years.
It is suitable for creating fine, soft textiles
