Kalopanax septemlobus, the Prickly Castor Oil tree, and a sole species in its genus is one of my favourite plants, so much so that we have several in the garden. Even now, whenever I spot some in the nurseries we visit I still find myself gravitating towards them, admiring the overall form of the plant with it's lush leaves on spiny stems, gorgeous! Mind you, I say that about a lot of plants and I have loads of other favourites too, but there is something special about the inherently unique Kalopanax.

This gardening blog follows our journey as we create our Tropical and Exotic themed garden. We hope you'll enjoy the journey as much as we do. We started our Exotic Garden in 2005 and this site will show its development, as well as our travels, both abroad and within the UK to gardens, nurseries and friends.
