Family:  Grossulariaceae
Author:  Jancz.
 
Known Hazards:  None known
 
Mature Height:  1   Mature Width:  1.5
 
Habitat:  Rocks in W. Sichuan at around 2300 metres[184].



Cultivation Notes:  Easily grown in a moisture retentive but well-drained loamy soil of at least moderate quality[11, 200]. Plants are quite tolerant of shade though do not fruit so well in such a position[11]. Hardy to about -15°c[184] if given shelter from cold drying winds[200]. Plants are of slow to moderate growth[202]. They can be slow to establish, often taking a year or two to settle down when planted out[202]. The flowers emit a soft sweet perfume[245]. Dioecious, male and female plants must be grown if fruit and seed is required[182]. Plants can harbour a stage of 'white pine blister rust', so they should not be grown in the vicinity of pine trees[155]. Plants in this genus are notably susceptible to honey fungus[200].
