Bluevine

Climbing plant type: Bine (Grows upwards by winding itself around other objects and plants.)

This short bine is a very fast growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 15 feet (4.6 meters) and growing as high as 99 feet (30.2 meters).

It takes 4 months for the moss green stems to mature, by which point they have often fused together into ropes with a diameter of 3 cm (1.2 inches) and remain soft and fleshy.

The long, tapering, fuzzy leaves reach up to 3 inches (8 cm) in length. They are blue and dark grey, and have ripped edges.

It grows well in the sun and full shade.
All of it is said to be part of one single, massive plant.
It aggressively steals nutrients from other large plants (but not each other).
It is suitable for making baskets and the like
