FATSIA JAPONICA

looking very healthy Dan, mine has gone mad after putting in raised border this year, love the leaf shape and shine

This is actually an old photo from when I first had it San. I'm just trying to get going on my 'Garden' section of GoY so I can discard all the littel instruction/details cards that come with the plants I've bought and as I ad pics to each description on that section, the pic also goes into my Photo's!!

It's a lot bigger than this now and I've decided not to plant it in the ground now as where I want it, the ground is poor and is totally full of roots. So, this week, we have bought a HUUUUUGE, terracotta, plastic tub for it ready to plant after xmas. I have cut quite a few leaves off already as it grows but a really hardy and lush plant. I wasn't sure at first as never been a fan of Evergreens but the more I see of them, the more they grow on me. It's more about the shape and form on evergreen for me.

Just answered your other photo of this plant mine is quite big but i do like this plant, it always looks healthy.

yes it is about shape and form with evergreens Dan, but you can get a great effect with all things green if thats what you want, ive seen some lovely plants on here which give that tropical jungle effect like junglejen, she has a great garden for all green, but i do like flowery things :o))
