This massive creeper is a slow growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 2,047 feet (623.9 meters) and growing as high as 120 feet (36.6 meters).

During late spring, the creeper produces balls of small azure flowers, and during the late autumn, after flowering, it produces a few large fruits.

The colour changes depends on whether the soil is acidic or alkaline.
