Bronze Creeper

Climbing plant type: Creeper (Grows along the ground or other low surfaces.)

This big creeper is a steady-growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 141 feet (43.0 meters) and growing as high as 75 feet (22.9 meters). It prefers to grow on trees.

It takes 15 months for the lime or green stems to mature, by which point they sometimes have a diameter of 1.2 feet (36 cm) and are thick and twisted.

The 3 pointed, smooth leaves reach up to 1.8 feet (53 cm) in length. They are lime at the bottom and green with bronze dots at the top, and have rounded edges.

During late spring, the creeper produces bunches of small lilac flowers.

The grains are bitter, but very healthy and are suitable for boiling.
It is suitable for creating flexible, durable textiles
