Copper Creeper

This huge creeper is a very slow growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 1,870 feet (570.0 meters) and growing as high as 353 feet (107.6 meters).

It takes 24 years for the gray and copper stems to mature, by which point they have tangled themselves into thick mats with a diameter of 2.2 feet (66 cm) and are rough and gnarled.

The perforated, soft leaves reach up to 1.1 feet (33 cm) in length. They are hazel with black tips, and have serrated edges.

During late spring, the creeper produces many average orange flowers.
