Climbing Ambervine

Climbing plant type: Vine (Grows upwards by clinging to almost any surface.)

This colossal vine is a slow growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 2,071 feet (631.2 meters) and growing as high as 104 feet (31.7 meters).

It takes 15 years for the pink stems to mature, by which point they sometimes have a diameter of 2.4 feet (74 cm) and are rough and woody.

The wispy, rough leaves reach up to 2.9 feet (89 cm) in length. They are green and black, and have smooth edges.

During late spring, the vine produces dozens of average amber flowers, and during the early autumn, after flowering, it produces copious amounts of large seed pods.

It is almost impossible to grow indoors.
It is suitable for making baskets and the like
It is said to be able to live for hundreds of years.
