Worked out from 30 years of climate records for Yundi. Microclimates vary: frost hollows and hills run later.
A fast, sprawling shrub from South America with sweet-tart golden berries inside papery husks. In Adelaide it fruits from summer into autumn, about five to six months after planting, and lasts two or three years in frost-free spots. Frost kills it, so plant out after the last frost or grow in a pot.
