vine

Winery's trailing growth

A vine is a plant with a long, slender stem that trails along the ground or climbs by attaching to supports.

Grapevines, ivy, and kudzu are vines.

The word extends to any climbing or trailing growth: Morning glories vined up the trellis.

To wither on the vine is to fail before reaching fruition.

Die on the vine means the same. (Capitalized Vine was a video-sharing platform.)
