Afgekia mahidolae

Afgekia sericea

This Afgekia is a small genus of perennial climbing shrubs native to Asia. The name of this plant is an acronym in honor of Arthur Francis George Kerr, a 20th century British plant collector (his initials spell out AFGEK)

Aganosma marginata

Lianas are woody, with a white latex. Climbing flowering in cymes final, white flowers scented out of tubes (min temp: + 10C)

Akebia quinata

Akebia quinata grows to 10 m (30 ft) or more in height and has compound leaves with five leaflets. The flowers are clustered in racemes and are chocolate-scented, with three or four sepals. The fruits are sausage-shaped pods which contain edible pulp.

Plants are evergreen in mild winters. Since the chocolate vine growth rate is so fast, it makes an excellent cover for arbors, trellises, pergolas or fences.

Akebia trifoliata

Akebia trifoliata is a deciduous Climber growing to 9 m (29ft 6in) at a fast rate.

Flavor varies greatly in akebias, even within the same species, with some individuals displaying a complex flavor profile resembling a mixture of banana, passionfruit and litchi, with others being mild, or even insipid.
