Climbing Pinkvine

This huge vine is a slow growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 1,172 feet (357.2 meters) and growing as high as 418 feet (127.4 meters). It prefers to grow on trees.

It takes 46 years for the grey and light brown stems to mature, by which point they each have a diameter of 1.7 feet (51 cm) and are rough and fibrous.

The sickle shaped, fuzzy leaves reach up to 3.0 feet (91 cm) in length. They are a shade of green that gradient shifts to pink at the top, and have serrated edges.

During late spring, the vine produces large amounts of large pink flowers, and during the late autumn, after flowering, it produces plenty of small seed pods.
