Edible Uses
Edible Parts: Fruit Root
Edible Uses:
Fruit - raw. It has very little flesh[144, 193]. The orange berry is about 10mm in diameter[265]. Root - raw[177]. Juicy with a sweet flavour[154, 193], but barely worth the effort of excavating them[193]. The roots bear small tubers up to 3cm long[193]. It has been suggested that these tubers are probably capable of enlargement through cultivation[193].

Cultivation details
Requires a sheltered position with plenty of humus in the soil[1]. Succeeds in heavy shade in Australian gardens, requiring shade in most soil types[157]. This species is not very hardy in Britain, though it can succeed outdoors in the mildest areas of the country[1]. It tolerates temperatures down to at least -7°c in Australian gardens[157], but this cannot be translated directly to British gardens due to our cooler summers and longer, colder and wetter winters. Plants require support by tying[157].
