Indigoberry

This short bine is a quick growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 21 feet (6.4 meters)0.

It takes 11 months for the lime green stems to mature, by which point they have often fused together into ropes with a diameter of 2 cm (0.8 inches) and are tough and woody.

The thin, crispy leaves reach up to 2 inches (5 cm) in length. They are either indigo, or olive with blue streaks, and have jagged edges.

During late spring, the bine produces a thick sheet of giant purple flowers, and during the late autumn, after flowering, it produces lots of small berries.
