Tetrapanax papyrifera 'Steroidal Giant', Paper Bush

With its huge leaves, this is a must for the tropicalissimo. It spreads underground to slowly form a usually welcome colony. Give 'er space, folks! The tannish indumentum under the leaves makes some folks sneeze but it is visually very gratifying so what's a sneeze or two? In advantageous circumstances, it can grow to more than 15 feet tall and will be evergreen in climates that stay above 25º F. Mature size: up to 20 ft T x 15 ft W Minimum temperature: 0° F
