Greyvine

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

This modest-sized bine is a steady-growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 30 feet (9.1 meters) and growing as high as 962 feet (293.2 meters).

It takes 14 months for the light grey stems to mature, by which point they can have a diameter of 4 inches (10 cm) and are smooth and slick.

The needle-like, rough leaves reach up to 5 inches (13 cm) in length. They are beige and white, and have ripped edges.

During late spring, the bine produces a handful of small slate flowers.

It is very rare outside of a particular area.
A particular bird species likes to nest in it.
It is suitable for creating tough, hard-wearing textiles
The bark, wood and leaves are edible.
It is difficult to kill and will quickly regrow if it falls or if its limbs are knocked off.
