Bronzeberry

Climbing plant type: Creeper (Grows along the ground or other low surfaces.)

This colossal creeper is a very slow growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 1,178 feet (359.1 meters) and growing as high as 558 feet (170.1 meters).

It takes 45 years for the gray-green stems to mature, by which point they sometimes have a diameter of 1.1 feet (33 cm) and are thick and twisted.

The asymmetrical, soft leaves reach up to 3.8 feet (1.2 meters) in length. They are solid green or peach, with bronze patches, and have toothed edges.

During late spring, the creeper produces hundreds of average purple flowers, and during the mid-autumn, after flowering, it produces excessive amounts of very large berries.

It is overwhelmingly resistant to fire damage.
It is suitable for creating tough, hard-wearing textiles
It makes a distinctive sound when the wind blows through it.
