So here is my chocolate vine, Akebia Quinata. It's been flowering since late February and will probably continue well into April and possibly May. In the right conditions and with cross pollination they can produce strange sausage shaped edible fruits. Although each plant carries separate and easily identifiable female and male flowers, it seems you need 2 different plants, either from different genetic strains or different varieties to have a better chance of fertilization. You also need a favourable Spring and Summer of course.
But they are well worth growing as an attractive semi-evergreen climber if only for the attractive leaves and beautiful small flowers...
