Coppervine

Climbing plant type: Bine (Grows upwards by winding itself around other objects and plants.)

This average-sized bine is a steady-growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 42 feet (12.8 meters)0. It prefers to grow on specific trees.

It takes 19 months for the light grey stems to mature, by which point they have tangled themselves into thick mats with a diameter of 5 inches (13 cm) and are smooth and woody.

The wispy, crispy leaves reach up to 9 inches (23 cm) in length. They are solid green or peach, with bronze patches, and have tattered edges.

During late spring, the bine produces large amounts of tiny copper flowers.

The grains are bitter, but very healthy and can be used to make numerous baked goods.
It is suitable for creating strong, durable textiles
The colour changes depends on whether the soil is acidic or alkaline.
