Dendropanax trifidus

A splendid evergreen large shrub or small rounded tree from Japan and Taiwan, still very rarely encountered in cultivation. Thick textured, glossy green, leathery foliage is deeply three lobed in the juvenile state and ovate/elliptic in adulthood. Conical heads of creamy flowers are produced terminally in summer followed by black fruit. Known to survive -15c in the USA, though I think this is best afforded a sheltered site, not too overly dry in summer but with reasonably drained soil.
