Pseudopanax lessonii ‘Moa’s Toes’

Unusual plants with glossy green three-lobbed leaves. Grows to 2 metres in urban or mild gardens or by the coast and can be grown in a pot.

Best in fertile well drained soil in sun or dappled shade.

N.B. When clipping several plants with the same tool, have a bucket containing a 5% bleach solution and swish your blades around for 30 seconds between plants to sterilise them. This will help avoid the chance of cross contamination of disease.

As with all woody plants, plant high, exposing as much of the taper at the base of the trunk as possible. Allowing soil to accumulate round the base of a tree can be fatal. Keep very well watered when first planted.
