V. davidii is a native of western China, and was introduced by Wilson for Messrs Veitch in 1904. Whether or not it is actually dioecious, it is so in effect, but many nurserymen now offer both ‘male’ and ‘female’ plants, and both must be grown if the beautiful fruits are to be seen. It received an Award of Merit for these in 1971.
