Coppervine

This short vine is a very fast growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 10 feet (3.0 meters)0.

It takes 7 months for the copper stems to mature, by which point they can have a diameter of 2 cm (0.8 inches) and are hard and brittle.

The thin, crispy leaves reach up to 2 inches (5 cm) in length. They are white on the edges and dark brown at the center, and have smooth edges.

During late spring, the vine produces a thick sheet of small faded purple flowers.
