Purple Apple berry
From LoveToKnow Garden
Purple Apple-berry (Billiardiera Longiflora) - An elegant climbing plant, hardy in the southern counties. Its narrow oblong leaves show its purple-blue berries to advantage as they dangle in profusion in autumn. The flowers are of a greenish-white color, and are not so showy as are the berries. The Tasmanian Apple-berry is a charming shrub for a low wall, or it may be grown in pots plunged outside and trained on old Bamboo stems, so as to be taken indoors when the fruits are colored. It is readily increased either by cuttings or layers, or by seeds sown as soon as the berries shrivel on the stems. B. cymosa is also in cultivation. Australia.
