Its spiny stems carry immense, double-pinnate leaves that emerge in Spring edged with a broad, luminous golden-yellow margin surrounding a deep green centre. In late Summer, large, cloud-like panicles of tiny white flowers emerge at the branch tips to attract bees. These blooms give way to heavy clusters of immature berries that start off bright pink, casting a vibrant rosy hue across their stems before ripening to a deep black in Autumn as the foliage turns warm orange tones. Particularly good planted as a dramatic standalone specimen, in a woodland border, or indeed anywhere with fertile, well-drained soil protected from harsh winds. Japanese Angelica Tree 'Aureovariegata' is a low-maintenance plant, needing minimal pruning – just remove any suckers or damaged stems in late Winter or early Spring as it emerges from dormancy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSite: \u003c\/b\u003eSheltered\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoils:\u003c\/b\u003e Fertile, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil.
