Kalopanax septemlobus
Family: Araliaceae
Cultivation
When dormant, Kalopanax septemlobus is very cold tolerant, though the young shoots, especially on young plants, can die back over winter if they have not been fully ripened during the previous growing season. This species is also generally intolerant of hot summers if they are also humid. Easily grown in a deep fertile moisture-retentive but well-drained soil in sun or part shade.
