Tetrapanax papyrifer
Tetrapanax papyrifer is a fast-growing architectural shrub or small tree prized for its enormous, deeply lobed green leaves. The dramatic foliage resembles giant hands and creates an immediate tropical, jungle-like effect in the garden.
Its bold canopy brings height, texture and structure to exotic planting schemes, sheltered courtyards and large borders. Established plants may also produce rounded clusters of small creamy-white flowers in autumn, although flowering can be affected by colder weather.
Best grown in a warm, sheltered position in full sun or partial shade, Tetrapanax prefers fertile, moist but well-drained soil. Protect young plants from severe frost and drying winds, and remove unwanted suckers where necessary to control its spread.
