Coral Creeper

This modest-sized creeper is a steady-growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 36 feet (11.0 meters) and growing as high as 646 feet (196.9 meters).

It takes 4 years for the orange or olive stems to mature, by which point they have often fused together into ropes with a diameter of 5 inches (13 cm) and are smooth and rubbery.

The spear shaped, waxy leaves reach up to 8 inches (20 cm) in length. They are red on the edges and peach at the center, and have smooth edges.

During late spring, the creeper produces hundreds of large red flowers, and during the mid-autumn, after flowering, it produces copious amounts of tiny fruits.
