what is a Billardie/Cherry Berry




Answers

 

You probably mean Billardiera longiflora 'cherry berry' - google it. It's an evergreen climbing shrub, though it'll only be that somewhere frost free - its frost sensitive.

Hi, welcome to GoY, Billardiera longiflora, or cherry berry, is an unusual evergreen climbing shrub, producing deliciously scented flowers of greeny yellow, sometimes purple tinted in summer, followed in autumn and winter by purple blue friuts, which are quite large considering the size of the leaves and stems, they can be eaten straight from the plant, or used in fruit salad, or pureed.
They prefer well drained soil in part shade and a sheltered position, frost hardy down to about minus 5 c, Derek.
