Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Another marvelous ivy-on-a stick, this plant -- having had a presence in collector's gardens in the southeast and on the West Coast, then nearly disappearing in cultivation -- is back! Shiny, three-lobed, glossy green, evergreen leaves of about 6" adorn this narrow, umbrella shaped, small tree, eventually to 10-15 ft. A lover of shade to dappled sun, these seem fine in full sun if provided consistent moisture. A great plant for tropical effect in the garden. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7.
