Amber Creeper

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

This average-sized creeper is a steady-growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 30 feet (9.1 meters) and growing as high as 62 feet (18.9 meters).

It takes 18 months for the amber stems to mature, by which point they have tangled themselves into thick mats with a diameter of 4 inches (10 cm) and are smooth and waxy.

The wispy, crispy leaves reach up to 1.1 feet (33 cm) in length. They are found in blood red and peach varieties, and have smooth edges.

During late spring, the creeper produces many balls of average amber flowers, and during the late summer, after flowering, it produces lots of tiny seed pods.

It absorbs an exceptionally large amount of water each day.
It is suitable for use as a construction material
