Pinkvine

Climbing plant type: Bine (Grows upwards by winding itself around other objects and plants.)

This short bine is a fast growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 23 feet (7.0 meters) and growing as high as 61 feet (18.6 meters).

It takes 2 months for the gray-green stems to mature, by which point they sometimes have a diameter of 1 cm (0.4 inches) and are rough and gnarled.

The sickle shaped, waxy leaves reach up to 3 inches (8 cm) in length. They are found in pink and vibrant green varieties, and have ripped edges.

During late spring, the bine produces clusters of large cyan flowers.

It is suitable for creating tough, hard-wearing textiles
It out-competes most other plants for nutrients and light.
