Would be a bit frost tender so better in a sheltered position or inside. It probably is more suitable as an indoor plant, but doesn't mind the shade at all.
This one has been growing under the eaves along a south side of the house, so hasn't had a lot of sun and no direct sun.
Pickup is in Kuripuni.
Thanks for looking.

This metal frame for stacking firewood was very useful before I have my woodshed. Its about 3 metres long. It is assembled with nuts and bolts but they are a bit rusty after a year or two outside.
Could be dis assembled or put on the back of a ute of something.
