About this plant
This lovely climber has rounded, slightly lobed leaves that are a rich green colour on top and a slightly furry rust colour beneath. There are black fruits. The plant climbs vigorously to the top of substantial trees. It then provides a spectacular display of crimson and scarlet autumn colour. The best colours are achieved when the root run is restricted. Make sure that the tree to host this plant is substantial enough to support it.

Spring
Spring-Autumn · Outdoors
Water in dry periods
Established plants in the ground can cope with 7-10 days of dryness, and shrubs often manage 2 to 3 weeks. Water one section of the garden thoroughly each day rather than a little everywhere. Check plants in pots more often, especially in hot weather.
Summer
Summer - early · Outdoors
Feed a general fertiliser
Where plants have moderate needs for nutrients, they can simply be given a general feed, fairly early in the growth season so that the growth has plenty of time to harden off before the cold weather.
Give plants a general boost with the application of a general purpose fertiliser which is spread around the root area of the plant, with amounts as directed on the feed label.
Summer · Planting
Trim the plant
Trim or tidy the plant if it is beginning to exceed its allotted space, or if it looks untidy after flowering.
Winter
Winter - late · Planting
Prune to maintain the plant
Remove and dead or damaged branches or any growth that looks very untidy. Trim the plant back if necessary to keep it within bounds.
