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 85 feet (25.9 meters) and growing as high as 104 feet (31.7 meters).

It takes 2 years for the copper or cream stems to mature, by which point they often have a diameter of 1.3 feet (38 cm) and are smooth and fuzzy.

The wispy, soft leaves reach up to 2.1 feet (64 cm) in length. They are lime and vibrant yellow, and have smooth edges.

During late spring, the bine produces balls of tiny green flowers.

The trunk and branches are covered in large spikes.
It is suitable for making strong rope
The colour changes depends on whether the soil is acidic or alkaline.
