Billardiera cymosa, sweet apple-berry, is a slender climber or twiner from south-eastern Australia that bears pale blue flowers and dark purple berries. It is a native of mallee and eucalypt woodland, so it suits a sunny, well-drained spot where it can climb a support.
Billardiera cymosa, commonly known as sweet apple-berry or love fruit, is a species of flowering plant in the family Pittosporaceae and is endemic to south-eastern continental Australia. It is usually a slender climber that has narrowly egg-shaped leaves and pale blue or pale purplish flowers arranged in groups of about five to twelve.
Sweet apple-berry grows in mallee and eucalypt woodland in the south-east of South Australia and western Victoria. Subspecies cymosa is found on the Yorke Peninsula and in the Southern Lofty and Murray Basin areas, extending into the Wimmera region of western Victoria. Subspecies pseudocymosa mainly occurs on the Eyre Peninsula but also in parts of the Eyre Peninsula with subsp. cymosa, and on the northern plains of Victoria from Wyperfeld to Mildura.
