Latin Name:  Billardiera cymosa
Common Name:  Sweet appleberry
Family:  Pittosporaceae
Author:  F.Muell.

Known Hazards:  None known

Mature Height:     Mature Width:

Habitat:  Woodlands, mallees and coastal heaths[193], on sandy soils[154].

Cultivation Notes: Requires a moist, well-drained,humus-rich, lime-free soil in sun or semi-shade with a cool root run[200]. Plants are hardy to at least -7°c in Australian gardens[157] but this cannot be translated directly to British gardens due to our cooler summers and longer colder and wetter winters. They probably require greenhouse protection in Britain[1], though they may succeed outdoors in a selected area in the milder areas of this country. Mulching the roots in winter will provide extra protection for the plant and even if the top is cut back by the cold it might resprout from the base[200].
