Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A gorgeous member of the Aralia family, first seen by Sean during a lecture tour in 1997 when Edward Needham showed his fabulous Fatsias collected in the highlands of Taiwan. After years of nurturing, we have seedlings to share! To 10 ft tall, possibly a bit taller, in part shade to shade with summer water. Expected to be a bit more frost hardy than the typical Fatsia japonica, accepting 10 ℉, bottom of USDA zone 8 and very probably a bit lower.
