This short creeper is a very fast growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 15 feet (4.6 meters) and growing as high as 130 feet (39.6 meters). It prefers to grow on man-made objects.

It takes 11 months for the moss green stems to mature, by which point they sometimes have a diameter of 1 cm (0.4 inches) and are rough and fibrous.

During late spring, the creeper produces many clusters of average light brown flowers.
