Turquoise Creeper

This modest-sized creeper is a steady-growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 38 feet (11.6 meters) and growing as high as 321 feet (97.8 meters).

It takes 3 years for the turquoise stems to mature, by which point they often have a diameter of 4 inches (10 cm) and are hard and brittle.

The very thin, fuzzy leaves reach up to 7 inches (18 cm) in length. They are a shade of gray-green that gradient shifts to hazel at the top, and have smooth edges.

During late spring, the creeper produces many small muted red flowers, and during the early winter, after flowering, it produces lots of tiny berries.
