Blackvine

This small creeper is a fast growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 12 feet (3.7 meters) and growing as high as 42 feet (12.8 meters). It prefers to grow on trees.

It takes 2 months for the copper stems to mature, by which point they sometimes have a diameter of 3 cm (1.2 inches) and are hard and brittle.

The very thin, rough leaves reach up to 3 inches (8 cm) in length. They are black at the bottom and bold green with light grey lines at the top, and have smooth edges.

During late spring, the creeper produces copious amounts of average black flowers.
