Banisteropsis caapi, also known as Caapi, Yage or Ayahuasca vine is a rare vine native to South America and has a long history of traditional use in indigenous shamanic practices. Its also a beautiful ornamental vine which gives a tropical appearance to any landscape its in. As the bionomial name implies, the vine itself has a twisted, ornamental banister like appearance. Vines can easily climb and cover the largest trees or trellis. 

This vine is in the Malpighiaceae family and as such has white and pink blooms similar to the acerola cherry trees in appearance, which only appear in the winter on very mature vines.

Cold hardy to warm spots in 9b, our mother vine rarely takes and cold damage for us, and may be hardier slightly further north. A hard frost will cause leaf damage but the vine will rapidly recover. 

Traditional use plants are recommended for ornamental use only. 

Plants offered for sale in 1 gallon pots are approx 12-16 inches tall.
