Introducing My New Tetrapanax Papyrifer (With Time Lapse)
In this video I introduce my new Tetrapanax Papyrifer plant which I will soon plant in my tropical style garden. Tetrapanax is an unusual looking plant which grows giant leaves giving a real tropical appearance even through it is hardy throughout most of the UK. In this video I have a look at the plant in spring when it is just starting to come into growth and then a few weeks later after it has rapidly grown lots of new large leaves, I also include a time lapse of its growth.

I agree with you advice I am in Ayrshire and mine was cut down with frost but re grew from the root
Love the the informative nature of your videos. I think they would improve if you put a bit more energy into the visual aspect. It is a bit monotonous to watch 5 mins of a still image.

I will try and add more images or moving video of the plants when I can to make sure it's not just one static scene.
Please tell me, what temperature this can withstand in winter?

They can handle down to about -5c (23F) much colder than that and the stem will be damaged, but the roots should survive down to about -15C (5F) if mulched. However if the stem gets damaged each year it will never grow very tall and will send up lots of suckers and so will grow more like a ground cover plant with small leaves instead of a small tree with giant leaves.

@@Gardeningat58N I am very grateful for the detailed answer. I live on the Black Sea coast of Russia, the city of Tuapse. We have subtropics, the winter is warm, but every 10 years there are frosts down to -12C. I will keep my tetrapanax in a pot. Thank you.
I thought it resembled a fatsia.

It is distantly related and has similar flowers, it has much larger leaves, is less hardy and likes more sun.
Can you plant them in ground in September??

Yes September is a good time to plant as the watering is easier than if planted in midsummer, they won't grow much over September, but they will establish their root system and then grow quickly the following summer.
It reminds me of rhubarb. Is it a rhizome?

No, it grows into a small tree usually with just one long trunk and no branches.
