Habitat:
Twining around native vegetation.
Notes:
Size of leaves varies a lot with some 150mm x 100mm. Grows well in shade (tends to be smaller). Twining around native vegetation and growing rapidly, that is some are 3m already. Plants die and wither in winter. I have sprayed with Round Up which seems to work to a degree. 50-60 plants approximately.
