Golden Bindweed

This average-sized bine is a steady-growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 30 feet (9.1 meters) and growing as high as 993 feet (302.7 meters). It prefers to grow on man-made objects.

It takes 21 months for the brown stems to mature, by which point they each have a diameter of 3 inches (8 cm) and are smooth and woody.

The spear shaped, sticky leaves reach up to 1.1 feet (33 cm) in length. They are gold and bronze, and have smooth edges.
