Climbing Nightshade Vine

This big vine is a steady-growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 267 feet (81.4 meters) and growing as high as 23 feet (7.0 meters). It prefers to grow on specific trees.

It takes 5 years for the red stems to mature, by which point they have often fused together into ropes with a diameter of 1.1 feet (33 cm) and remain soft and fleshy.

The fan-like, clammy leaves reach up to 1.4 feet (43 cm) in length. They are amber and dark grey, and have serrated edges.

During late spring, the vine produces large amounts of small dark grey flowers, and during the early winter, after flowering, it produces plenty of very large berries.
