White rattan is also called provincial rattan, which is also produced in Yunnan Province of China. Rattan chair, rattan bed, rattan blue, rattan bookshelf, etc. are all processed from rattan. Rattan is a member of the palm family, which is often planted in the courtyard. It is mainly grown in the tropical rainforest, and it can be seen in Hainan Island of China. White rattan has numerous branches, long stems drooping, forming many strange circles, so people nicknamed it "guisuo".
The stem of white rattan is usually very thin, as thick as the mouth of a small wine cup, and some are even thinner. It has a bunch of feathery leaves on the top, with spikes on the surface. The upper part of the stem until the top of the stem is long and firm, and also full of big, sharp and downward curved hard thorns.
It is like a long whip with thorns. It swings with the wind. As soon as it touches the tree, it clings to the trunk tightly, and soon grows a bunch of new leaves. Then it continued to climb up the trunk, and the lower leaves gradually fell off. After climbing to the top of the tree, the rattan is still growing vigorously, but there is nothing to climb, so its longer and longer stem will fall down, taking the tree as a pillar, winding around the tree into countless strange circles.
From the root to the top, the white rattan is 300 meters long, twice as long as the tallest Eucalyptus in the world. According to the records, the maximum length of rattan reached 400 meters. Is there any longer plant on the land?
But such a long white vine may only exist in the tropical rainforest, which is not seen in China. As for the growth speed of white rattan, the picture below shows the scene of a white rattan blooming after 300 years of growth. The branches are only 1-2 meters long, and it will take thousands of years to reach hundreds of meters.
