Caramel Vine

Climbing plant type: Vine (Grows upwards by clinging to almost any surface.)

This colossal vine is a very slow growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 2,563 feet (781.2 meters) and growing as high as 245 feet (74.7 meters). It prefers to grow on rock formations.

It takes 28 years for the yellow-green stems to mature, by which point they have tangled themselves into thick mats with a diameter of 1.9 feet (58 cm) and are smooth and woody.

The long, tapering, fuzzy leaves reach up to 1.5 feet (46 cm) in length. They are lime on the edges and ashy orange at the center, and have serrated edges.

During late spring, the vine produces handfuls of large caramel flowers.

It is suitable for creating flexible, durable textiles
The grains are bitter, but very healthy and slightly sweet.
