Climbing Hazelnut Vine

This short vine is a quick growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 5 feet (1.5 meters) and growing as high as 24 feet (7.3 meters).

It takes 6 months for the brown stems to mature, by which point they each have a diameter of 3 cm (1.2 inches) and are rough and woody.

The thin, leathery leaves reach up to 2 inches (5 cm) in length. They are generally hazel, and have irregular edges.

During late spring, the vine produces thick bunches of small beige flowers.
