Another very cool one is called ‘Spilt Milk’. It’s got big fatty leaves that remind me of Tetrapanax ( a bit smaller) It is a variegated plant, but not as pronounced as Variegata. I’m not sure you can get it over there, as I believe it was introduced by CistusNursery in Portland Oregon USA
Thank you. No I’ve Not heard of Fatsia Spilt Milk but I will search it up later. Definitely not one I’ve heard of for sale in the U.K. Fatsia are quite easy from fresh seed. I’m surprised that more mutated varieties haven’t been found.
Beautiful garden you have there 💞 is it possible if you can do a video on your trachycarpus fortunia palms please, how long have you had, the care they need and if they're quick growers or slow please. Much appreciated thank you 👍
Thank you. If you look at my October Tour video on my Channel I do talk more about the palms in my garden. I also will do more palm videos in the future. I appreciate the comment.
Hello Very beautiful garden, may i suggest you, if you stil have a empty place, a Paulownia, it's a tree off course, but if you cut it every year you will have very large leaves, who seem to be exotic.
Hi. I have grown Paulownia in the past and I really like it and I still have a couple of large ones in pots elsewhere. In my garden though I only have limited space so I prefer to use evergreens for all year round interest. Thanks for your comment
Great video, I think you've covered all the bases and then some. I agree with you the curling on the leaves is due to sun/drought stress. I see it on my Fatsias as well as Metapanax. Have you tried to propagate from cuttings?
Thank you. I have had success with cuttings from some of the Japonica varieties and my Fatsia Variegata near the tree ferns at the rear of the garden was from a cutting I took many years ago from one of my others. For reasons I don’t know the Polycarpa cuttings I have tried haven’t worked but to be honest I’ve only tried a few times as I’ve often had seedlings.
@@tikitropicals65 I’ve never tried growing them from seed, I already have enough plants! However this year I noticed a lot of seedlings popping up for the first time. Also over in North America the green and yellow ones are most commonly called “Camouflage” like you had mentioned.
Hi. Scheffleras and Fatsia both come from the Aralia family so are similar. Fatsia are easy from seed if fresh. In my garden they self seed. Once the berries have turned black in spring you can squish them with your fingers to find the small seeds inside. These can then be sown on top of multipurpose compost and kept moist. If temps are above 20 Celsius they should germinate in a couple of weeks.
