General
Comments:

Dense vigorous climber for a strong trellis or to grow up established trees. Roots need to be well mulched or kept cool. Birds like nesting in it.

Moist to wet draining soils in moist to wet gullies and forests, or occasionally rocky exposed sites. Tolerant of light frosts. While the canopy is in the sun, the roots will be in cool, moist soil.
