Pseudopanax
Pseudopanax species are highly prized for their landscaping versatility. Their strong, attractive leaf form, texture and colour and the fact that they are evergreen make them wonderful for group planting or for accent planting. Leaf colours include a strong glossy mid-green, bronze/green, bronze/coper and a gorgeous variegated species, Pseudopanax lessonii ‘Gold Splash’ which is green and gold.

The fascinating thing about Pseudopanax crassifolius is that it goes through a total transformation as it grows from a juvenile tree to a mature tree, almost as radical as a teenager entering puberty! It begins life with a single stem with sparsely spaced, drooping, leathery, bronze/purple leaves, and after 10 – 20 years suddenly the stem thickens and becomes a slender trunk, branches apear and leaves become shorter and grow green and upright. Planted in groups, this tree makes a striking feature at each stage of its growth. Very highly recommended.
Pseudopanax species are very easy to grow, enjoying fertile well-drained soil in sun or part shade. Most species will tolerate at least light frost but should be given a warm sheltered site in cool areas.
