Copper Creeper

Climbing plant type: Creeper (Grows along the ground or other low surfaces.)

This short creeper is a very fast growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 18 feet (5.5 meters) and growing as high as 144 feet (43.9 meters).

It takes 8 months for the copper stems to mature, by which point they have often fused together into ropes with a diameter of 1 cm (0.4 inches) and are rough and fibrous.

The broad, flat, sticky leaves reach up to 3 inches (8 cm) in length. They are copper and vivid blue, and have rounded edges.

During late spring, the creeper produces a handful of large faded yellow flowers, and during the early summer, after flowering, it produces lots of tiny berries.

It is suitable for creating fine, soft textiles
It only grows on the most fertile lands.
The sap causes severe rashes
