Pot Size: 2 litre (deep) Price: £25.00 Description: An evergreen climber with slender green ageing brown twining stems, only woody after several years. Distinct in cultivation by its foliage, composed of three glossy green leaflets (without impressed venation), held pinnately, with slightly revolute margins that can catch a thumb nail. Bearing in the lower leaf axils of the new growth, inflorescences of primarily male (reddish) and few larger female (cream) 6-sepalled scented flowers March-May. Only followed by elongated edible fruit when pollinated by a separate clone. A Japanese selection of this small species, much confused in cultivation. Best grown in a well-lit warm sheltered site out of cold winds. Closely related to and similar in habit to Stauntonia.
