Rockvine

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

This huge vine is a slow growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 2,538 feet (773.6 meters) and growing as high as 814 feet (248.1 meters). It prefers to grow on rock formations.

It takes 38 years for the yellow and grey stems to mature, by which point they have tangled themselves into thick mats with a diameter of 4.1 feet (1.2 meters) and are hard and brittle.

The needle-like, leathery leaves reach up to 3.6 feet (1.1 meters) in length. They are cream and cyan, and have ripped edges.

During late spring, the vine produces clusters of tiny green flowers, and during the mid-autumn, after flowering, it produces plenty of large fruits.

It is suitable for creating flexible, durable textiles
It is very rare outside of a particular area.
It grows well in the sun and full shade.
