Crimson vine

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

This big vine is a steady-growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 173 feet (52.7 meters) and growing as high as 46 feet (14.0 meters). It prefers to grow on rock formations.

It takes 22 months for the lime and crimson stems to mature, by which point they each have a diameter of 7 inches (18 cm) and are smooth and slick.

The slender, pointed, fuzzy leaves reach up to 2.8 feet (84 cm) in length. They are grey and amber, and have smooth edges.

During late spring, the vine produces many clusters of giant black flowers, and during the early autumn, after flowering, it produces lots of small fruits.

The bark is frequently covered in moss.
The bark, wood and leaves are edible.
It is suitable for creating strong, durable textiles
