Olivevine

Grass type: Annual (Grows upwards by winding itself around other objects and plants.)

This huge, olive grass grows up to 23 feet (7.0 meters) tall. The very thin stalks grow in extensive patches that are flexible and they overwhelm an area rapidly.

When mature, the end of the stem eventually transforms into a giant, green spikelet.

During the early autumn, it produces very little pollen, and after flowering, it is left with a few giant grains.

Several parts of the flower have medicinal properties.
It grows well in the sun and full shade.
It aggressively steals nutrients from other large plants (but not each other).
