Golden Bindweed

Climbing plant type: Bine (Grows upwards by winding itself around other objects and plants.)

This average-sized bine is a steady-growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 40 feet (12.2 meters)0.

It takes 23 months for the orange-yellow stems to mature, by which point they each have a diameter of 3 inches (8 cm) and are flat and wavy.

The thick, sticky leaves reach up to 1.3 feet (41 cm) in length. They are found in gold and lilac varieties, and have smooth edges.

During late spring, the bine produces copious amounts of tiny olive flowers.

It is difficult to kill and will quickly regrow if cut.
It is suitable for creating tough, hard-wearing textiles
