A slender twining climer, ususally with slightly hairy stems and oblong dark green leaves. This climer has creamy yellow bell shaped flowers that hang from the end of the branchlets from September to December, followed by a light green edible berry. It is an attractive light climber for growing under established trees or on a low trellis in full sun to semi shade.
