Pot Size: 2 litre (deep) Price: £30.00 Description: From a plant given to us from cultivation in the UK. A vigorous woody-stemmed hardy evergreen twining climber, with Schefflera-like leaves composed of up to nine slender leathery dark green glossy leaflets. Bearing in spring separate male (slender, purple green tinged) & female (plump, pale green) fragrant flowers, which when pollinated by a second clone produces sausage-shaped pinkie-purple edible fruit, which are so popular in the Far East. Best grown in a sheltered site out of cold winds, although it is proving remarkably resilient on the exposed east facing front of our house. Closely related to and similar in habit to Stauntonia. Syn. H. angustifolia, which is a different species described from Nepal in 1828.
