熊掌木 x Fatshedera lizei ' Angyo Star '

The plant combines the shrubby shape of Fatsia with the five-lobed leaves of Hedera. As a shrub, ×F. lizei can grow up to 1.2 m tall, above which the weight of the fairly weak branches makes them tend to bend over. It can however also be tied to a support and grow into a vine up to 3–4 m tall; unlike Hedera, it does not readily climb without assistance. The leaf blades are 7–25 cm long and broad, with a 5–20 cm petiole. The flowers are 4–6 mm diameter, yellowish-white, produced in late autumn or early winter in dense umbels; they are sterile and do not produce any fruit. However, specimens have been reported, which did produce not only flowers but also clusters of berries, one of which put forth shoots in the pot.
