Fatsia japonica Pruning & Size Control (Japanese Aralia)
Fatsia japonica, commonly known as Japanese aralia, is a stunning evergreen shrub that boasts large, glossy leaves and a tropical appearance. It’s often used in landscaping for its lush foliage and ability to thrive in shady areas. However, without proper pruning and size control, this plant can quickly outgrow its space, becoming unruly and overwhelming. Pruning not only helps manage its size but also promotes healthy growth and enhances its aesthetic appeal.
