Blue Twinevine

This short bine is a quick growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 13 feet (4.0 meters) and growing as high as 32 feet (9.8 meters). It prefers to grow on man-made objects.

It takes 4 months for the moss green stems to mature, by which point they can reach a diameter of 1 cm (0.4 inches) and are thick and twisted.

The shield-shaped, clammy leaves reach up to 3 inches (8 cm) in length. They are deep green and drab blue, and have smooth edges.

During late spring, the bine produces clusters of average blue flowers, and during the mid-summer, after flowering, it produces a modest amount of tiny fruits.
