Family:  Vitaceae
Author:  Pulliat.

Known Hazards:  None known

Mature Height:  20   Mature Width:  20

Habitat:  Grows into trees in forests[11].

Cultivation Notes: Prefers a deep rich moist well-drained moderately fertile loam[1, 200]. Grows best in a calcareous soil[200]. Succeeds in sun or partial shade though a warm sunny position is required for the fruit to ripen[200]. The fully dormant plant is hardy to about -25°c, though the young growth in spring can be damaged by late frosts. Plants climb by means of tendrils[182]. Any pruning should be carried out in winter when the plants are dormant otherwise they bleed profusely[182, 200]. A fast growing climber[11, 202], attaching itself by means of tendrils[182], it is ideal for growing into large trees. Plants are often slow to establish, taking 1 - 2 years from planting out before they make much new growth[202]. A very ornamental plant[1] with its large leaves which colour well in the autumn. Plants in this genus are notably susceptible to honey fungus[200].
