Climbing plant type: Vine (Grows upwards by clinging to almost any surface.)

This modest-sized vine is a steady-growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 43 feet (13.1 meters)0. It prefers to grow on trees.

It takes 5 years for the emerald stems to mature, by which point they sometimes have a diameter of 2 inches (5 cm) and are smooth and waxy.

The broad, flat, smooth leaves reach up to 1.6 feet (48 cm) in length. They are solid slate with light brown lines, and have toothed edges.

It makes a distinctive sound when the wind blows through it.
The grains are bitter, but very healthy and overwhelmingly salty.
It is suitable for use as a construction material
