    By: Treephoria

    Wonderful evergreen, a large shrub to small tree, closely related to the aralia family. To 10-20' tall x 10-15' wide with branches that radiate from the trunk like spokes of a wheel and very glossy leaves with bronzy new growth and somewhat furry undersides. Flowers are bright green in spring. Slow growing and happy in part sun out of afternoon sun in hot climates. Needs well-drained soil and consistent summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 6.
