Description
Kalopanax septemlobus is a tall, striking tree known for its bold, deeply lobed foliage, which can reach up to 12 inches (30 cm) across. The large, glossy leaves emerge in spring and turn a rich green, creating a dense canopy that provides excellent shade. The tree’s trunk is spiny, adding a unique texture to the landscape, and in late summer, it produces clusters of small, white to greenish flowers, followed by dark fruits that attract birds.
Preferring full sun to partial shade and well-drained, fertile soil, Kalopanax septemlobus is a hardy tree that thrives in a variety of conditions. Its strong, upright growth habit makes it ideal for use as a specimen tree, in woodland gardens, or as a large, focal point in the landscape. Hardy in USDA zones 5-9, it is relatively low-maintenance and can tolerate a range of soil types. Whether used for its dramatic foliage, striking form, or unique appearance, this tree adds year-round interest and structure to the landscape.
