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. ❤️

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

Good to know that I should plant this as a foundation plan in my zone!

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.

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.

This I will add to my garden this year for sure!

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.

[zeroibis]

Wow, the variegated form is beautiful!

[marilynbruckman]

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

[jennifernash]

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.

Your videos make me want to have all of the plants!
