Bronzevine

Succulent type: Caudiciform (Stores water in the thickened base of its stem)

This colossal caudiciform grows up to 179 feet (54.6 meters) tall. The very narrow, elongated stem is bronze, and is dotted with small orange spines. It has a straight, thick, gnarled, caramel trunk atop a wide clump of silky, exposed roots. The branches are wide and moss green and are short, rigid and upright.

The irregular-edged, thick leaves are found in white and silver varieties. They are flimsy, and detach easily.

It is steady-growing, taking 3 years to reach maturity. Once mature, several flowers with petals that are violet on the underside and turquoise on the top grow at the top, reappearing every year. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of 27 petals. It has a soft scent that smells like a newborn baby.

The caudiciform's skin is tough, the azure flesh is sticky, and the light brown sap is thin.

It is suitable for creating flexible, durable textiles
It only grows on the most fertile lands.
It is difficult to kill and will quickly regrow if it falls or if its limbs are knocked off.
