Burgundy Creeper

This small creeper is a very fast growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 19 feet (5.8 meters) and growing as high as 230 feet (70.1 meters).

It takes 2 months for the burgundy stems to mature, by which point they can have a diameter of 3 cm (1.2 inches) and remain soft and fleshy.

The long, narrow, waxy leaves reach up to 4 inches (10 cm) in length. They are solid light grey with brown lines, and have toothed edges.

During late spring, the creeper produces balls of large hazel flowers, and during the mid-autumn, after flowering, it produces copious amounts of tiny seed pods.
