Aphanopetalum resinosum - 'Gum Vine'
Aphanopetalum resinosum
Gum Vine | Australian Native Climber
Aphanopetalum resinosum, commonly known as Gum Vine, is an attractive Australian native climbing plant with lush, glossy green foliage and delicate sprays of small, creamy-white to greenish flowers. Naturally occurring in the rainforests and moist forests of eastern Australia, this vigorous evergreen climber is ideal for creating a beautiful, leafy garden feature.
Its slender, twining stems climb through surrounding vegetation or over suitable supports, making it an excellent choice for covering trellises, fences, pergolas and shaded garden structures. The attractive foliage provides year-round greenery, while the dainty flowers add a subtle, natural charm.
Gum Vine is particularly suited to rainforest gardens, native plant landscapes and sheltered subtropical gardens. It thrives in moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter and prefers a protected position in partial shade.
