Caramel

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

This modest-sized bine is a steady-growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 50 feet (15.2 meters) and growing as high as 43 feet (13.1 meters).

It takes 18 months for the green stems to mature, by which point they each have a diameter of 4 inches (10 cm) and are smooth and waxy.

The broad, flat, fuzzy leaves reach up to 1.3 feet (41 cm) in length. They are caramel and orange, and have ripped edges.

During late spring, the bine produces clusters of tiny silver flowers, and during the early summer, after flowering, it produces a modest amount of small fruits.

It is often home to a particular bird species.
Once on fire, it burns very quickly.
It is suitable for making baskets and the like
