Artabotrys are very interesting, medium sized vines from Asia. They are quite sturdy and easy to grow. Any location from full sun to filtered light would be good. Good drainage is important and the soil has to be moderately moist. Artabotrys are vines that can climb on a trellis fence or on top of other shrubs by special structures on the stems that resemble hooks. If left by themselves, the vine will grow on top of itself forming a mound.
Most people that expect large, colorful flowers will be disappointed with the Artabotrys. The flowers appear during the warmer months and are greenish/yellow and very often hidden by the leaves.
These beautiful vines with shiny green leaves are not really grown for the flowers. People like them for their the unusual fragrance. They are also called "juicy fruit vine."
Artabotrys are tropical vines and have to be protected against freezing temperatures. They can also be grown in containers with proper trimming and brought indoors during the cold spells.

I HAVE A YLANG YLANG TREE IN MY YARD AND IS TRUE THAT THEY DO GROW
QUITE BIG THEY ARE BEUTIFUL IN THE FLOWERING SEASON AND MAKE THE WHOLE
YARD SMELL GOOD IS A NICE TREE TO HAVE IF U DO HAVE THE SPACE .THANKS
FOR THE PIC.
How do they do in pots? They sound like a lovely plant but my area is too cold to grow them outdoors (at least through the winter). I'm wondering if anyone has had practical experience with it indoors (the notes recommended a "Dwarf" variety but sometimes they don't tell the whole story).
