Drum roll please ..... I got my SCHEFFLERA TAIWANIANA! Even better it was a gift to me from one of my dearest friends - she clearly knows me all too well. This is the Dan Hinkley introduction from Monrovia called Schefflera Taiwaniana 'Yuan Shan'. I have wanted one of these for years. It is one of those plants that you hear all the little rumours about. A hardy schefflera? Dan Hinkley. Monrovia? When will it be available? - those ones. I am happy to say it all culminated with me owning one - little Sheffy or the Shefster as I like to say.
I love the orange/red that the older growth exhibits!
It just looks right at home!
I bought one last year and have it in a pot on the patio....just in case I need to move it. Love mine, good luck!
ReplyDeleteThey are so beautiful! I'm hoping this one does well. I just planted it this evening in a nice sheltered spot. I'm really excited to have one!
DeleteCongrats, looks like you got a good one (I'm surprised how many variations there are out there), what a great friend!
ReplyDeleteYeah it's crazy how different they all can look!! I swear that every single one is different. I find this one kind of looks like it's gone rogue wild or something. How has yours been doing?!
DeleteBoth of mine are doing great...but last winter was a cake walk.
ReplyDeleteThat's good! It's nice when you plant new treasures and get a mild winter. That way they really get established before tested. Here's to a bunch of mild ones!
DeleteThanks for writing thiis
