Coppervine

This short bine is a very fast growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 24 feet (7.3 meters) and growing as high as 58 feet (17.7 meters).

It takes 5 months for the copper stems to mature, by which point they have often fused together into ropes with a diameter of 2 cm (0.8 inches) and are smooth and slick.

The circular, smooth leaves reach up to 6 inches (15 cm) in length. They are solid caramel or copper, with dark brown zig-zags, and have smooth edges.

During late spring, the bine produces copious amounts of small muted yellow flowers, and during the mid-autumn, after flowering, it produces excessive amounts of tiny seed pods.
