Rockclimber Vine

This large vine is a steady-growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 467 feet (142.3 meters) and growing as high as 74 feet (22.6 meters). It prefers to grow on rock formations.

It takes 4 years for the red stems to mature, by which point they can reach a diameter of 5 inches (13 cm) and are smooth and rubbery.

The 5 pointed, clammy leaves reach up to 10 inches (25 cm) in length. They are a shade of olive and gray that gradient shifts to orange at the top, and have smooth edges.

During late spring, the vine produces many bunches of tiny indigo flowers, and during the early summer, after flowering, it produces copious amounts of small berries.
