Coppervine

This large vine is a steady-growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 146 feet (44.5 meters) and growing as high as 41 feet (12.5 meters). It prefers to grow on specific trees.

It takes 19 months for the copper stems to mature, by which point they each have a diameter of 1.2 feet (36 cm) and are rough and gnarled.

The pleated, clammy leaves reach up to 2.8 feet (84 cm) in length. They are olive with aquamarine tips, and have smooth edges.

During late spring, the vine produces many clusters of large black flowers.
