Cyclea barbata
Cyclea barbata
Family: Menispermaceae
Cultivation
Cultivated plants produce fruit erratically, so propagation is usually by stem or root cuttings. Cuttings from young woody stems, 25 - 30 cm long, are planted near hedges, trees or trellises, for support at a later stage. Cuttings may also be planted in the field at a spacing of 2 metres x 1.5 metres, supported by stakes, under shade trees.
