Plants are not fully hardy in much of Britain[219]. Young spring growth is susceptible to frost damage[160]. Fruits are formed on second year wood and also on fruit spurs on older wood[126], any pruning is best carried out in the winter[219]. This is a climbing plant, supporting itself by twining around branches etc[200]. This plant possibly merits specific recognition as A. pubescens. Ridley[198].
