Twistvine

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

This big bine is a steady-growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 317 feet (96.6 meters) and growing as high as 114 feet (34.7 meters). It prefers to grow on trees.

It takes 12 months for the cream stems to mature, by which point they can reach a diameter of 5 inches (13 cm) and are thick and twisted.

The perforated, smooth leaves reach up to 2.3 feet (69 cm) in length. They are moss green with brown tips, and have ripped edges.

During late spring, the bine produces large amounts of average beige flowers, and during the late summer, after flowering, it produces a modest amount of large fruits.

It only grows on the most fertile lands.
