Latin Name:  Ampelopsis humulifolia
Family:  Vitaceae
Author:  Bunge.

Known Hazards:  None known

Mature Height:  6   Mature Width:

Habitat:  Woodlands and thickets, 900 - 1500 metres[109].

Cultivation Notes: Prefers a deep rich loam in a warm sheltered position in sun or semi-shade[11, 200]. Dormant plants are hardy to at least -25°c if the wood is fully ripened[200]. The young growth in spring, even on mature plants, is frost-tender and so it is best to grow the plants in a position sheltered from the early morning sun[K]. A very ornamental plant[1], it is closely related to A. bodinieri[11]. Plants rarely produce fruits in Britain unless there is a long hot summer[200]. Plants climb by means of coiling tendrils but large plants often need tying in to support the weight of foliage[200].
