Aralia elata

Description

A beautifully architectural plant. Upright in habit with extra long, dark green pinnate leaves, with as many as 80 leaflets. In early autumn it produces large heads of small white flowers, while later on the leaves turn to yellow, orange and purple shades. Produces small black fruits. Can get quite large so allow plenty of room and grow it as a specimen where it can easily be really appreciated. Height 6m (20ft).
