Burgundy Bine

This small bine is a fast growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 18 feet (5.5 meters)0.

It takes 4 months for the burgundy stems to mature, by which point they sometimes have a diameter of 3 cm (1.2 inches) and remain soft and fleshy.

The very thin, smooth leaves reach up to 5 inches (13 cm) in length. They are a shade of gray and olive that gradient shifts to black at the top, and have smooth edges.

During late spring, the bine produces balls of small lilac flowers, and during the late autumn, after flowering, it produces excessive amounts of large berries.
