Schefflera digitata ( Seven Finger )
Hi there - here is a picture of my Schefflera digitata - planted as an experiment and to my surprise is looking o.k after going through the last 4-seasons. Can you grow this plant in the U.K ?

Re: Schefflera digitata ( Seven Finger )
Beyond Cornwall I think there is hope. I have one that has been planted out for many years - it was cut back in the bad winters but now headed for the skies again.
I have it planted next to Pseudopanax laetus and they do look rather similar. Of the two the pseudopanax I think is more attractive and hardier but as I have the space I'll keep both.

Re: Schefflera digitata ( Seven Finger )
Yes, as David said I have been growing S digitata in my coastal Suffolk garden for a few years. I bought it from Trevena Cross (Cornwall) in September 2009 and planted it next to the front of the house, in a north-facing border, straight away. We then had the hardest two winters for several years. I was luckier than many being only a couple of hundred metres from the coast, but still had lows of around -11C. The plant took quite a lot of damage; it was largely defoliated and there was a lot of shoot dieback. It has always bounced back though. As we had a blessedly mild winter last year, it was unscathed. This summer it flowered for the first time.
