I have 2 of these in my back garden and they really are one of my favourite plants. I like to prune mine into a tree form, I just peel off the old leaves every year and just keep the new ones. I’ve recently planted 3 of the ‘spider’ ones in my front garden and I’ll do the same to those as I like that look. Loving your new channel 😊

I love this plant. Growing up in Japan, I remember seeing it at almost every garden. It is called "Yatsude" meaning 8-fingered hand. The leaves look like hands with 8 fingers (not always 8). I am crossing fingers that mine will be OK after a few weeks of frigid temperature.

I love the large leaves and have brought one into my landscape last year. ❤️

Just planted a Spider's Web Fatsia. Beautiful plant! Thank you for the video!

Came back to rewatch this. I got one of these to plant near my fountain today. ❤️

I have 3 of these in my DFW Texas garden and love them. They did have some dieback last winter when we had unseasonably cold temps for several days, but came back vigorously in the spring.

I don't think I've ever seen this plant. Thank you for sharing.

Fatsia japonica is on my list for the jungle/tropical garden that I'm planning.

[@marilynbruckman3610]

The leaves are striking! They could add interest to the garden.

[@jennifernash4638]

I definitely need to source at least one of these for the shady boundary in my back yard! I have very few pretty evergreen things to look at this time of year back there.

I'm in zone 10 and have this in a good-sized container located on the north side of my home and it is doing amazingly well. I haven't seen any flowers yet. It is about 4 feet high and I have some leaves that are over 12 inches across. I don't know if this had anything to do with using some Miracle Gro. Best part-shade plant that I have found so far. I do love the tropical look of this plant.

Neat leaves!

Let me count the ways I love fatsia! I planted my first this fall in a container and cannot wait to see it flourish this year.

[@chrystinavest1520]

I love the leaves! Thanks for showcasing this one. I need some shade plants for one of the back corners of my house.

[@juliadolce3798]

Love this channel just heard about it think I am up to date and want everything 😁

[@Tofog22000]

Nice plant, looks tropical.

[@colleenherrington3460]

Love your video style - brief, factual and practical! Do you ever do presentations at shows for the general public? Do you post a schedule?

[@amynelsongreen3243]

I’ve had my eye on this plant to screen a fence line under large maples. Evergreen and full shade, this may be the year to try them!

[@csellers5818]

I really want one of these. I have a part shade spot in a new garden space I just moved into. I can’t wait to try it! Thanks for the wonderful info.
