Description
Tetrapanax papyrifera is an unusual and tropical-looking deciduous shrub often grown for its large, glossy leaves. It adds a bold architectural element to the garden with its palmate foliage that can bring an exotic touch to temperate climates.
This plant prefers a sunny or partly shaded spot and does best in moist, well-drained soil. Suitable for gardeners looking to experiment with distinctive foliage plants, it is generally hardy in milder UK areas but may require some winter protection.
