or Verigated Fived leaved Aralia.
Has anyone had experiance actually growing it? I searched through the shrub archives and found no one saying "my experience..." Especially someone who has had it for several years.
I was thinking of it for a screen that gets morning sun. Damp in spring, dry but humid in the summer (IE the mid-Atlantic). Raised bed amended with a lot of organic material.
How bad are the thorns? Put the neighbor's kid's eye out bad or merely keep them out of the bed bad (like the points on the edge of a holly leaf)? Or like a rose (somewhere in the middle)?
How fast does it get to 5 feet or so?
Will several in a row form a nice light screen that gives privacy without a leaden feeling of a hedge?
Thoughts appreciated.
