Characteristics
The Tetrastigma voinierianum is an evergreen climbing plant with large heart-shaped leaves. The leaves have a glossy surface, a deep green color, and can reach up to 60 centimeters in diameter. This plant is also known for its long woody stems that can grow up to fifteen meters and wrap around support structures to reach height.
