Tetrapanax papyrifer(Araliaceae)
Price range: €18.00 through €22.00
A large, fast-growing shrub or small tree to about 5m high, producing a thicket of upright stems topped by large, palmately lobed green leaves. New shoots and leaves have a coating of fine coppery hairs. Creamy pompoms of flowers are produced in large sprays in autumn, followed by black fruit. While this plant is frost tender it does extremely well in our mild coastal location, despite the wind. The specimen pictured was planted in 2015 here in Kinsale, Co. Cork.
