(MWZ17-107) This kadsura vine (MWZ17107) was another 2017 Gansu collection by Mark Weathington. Our notes say, "Vigorous evergreen vine. Fruit in heads to 3” across, Individual fruit corn kernel shaped to .85” red, multiple seeds in each." What they don't say is how impressive an evergreen vine with huge, 3" bright red fruits dangling from it is. Flowers can be green, white, or violet. Grow it up and through trees or to cover an arbor.
