-'''''Fatsia japonica''''' ('''Fatsi''' or '''Japanese Aralia'''; [[synonymy|syn.]] ''Aralia japonica'' Thunb., ''A. sieboldii'' Hort. ex [[K.Koch]]) is a species of ''[[Fatsia]]'', native to southern [[Japan]].
+==Cultivation==
+{{edit-cult}}<!--- Type cultivation info below this line, then delete this entire line -->
-It is an [[evergreen]] [[shrub]] growing to 3-6 m tall, with stout, sparsely branched stems. The [[leaf|leaves]] are spirally-arranged, large, 20-50 cm in width and on a petiole up to 50 cm long, leathery, palmately lobed, with 7-9 broad lobes, divided to half or two-thirds of the way to the base of the leaf; the lobes are edged with coarse, blunt teeth. The [[flower]]s are small, white, borne in dense terminal compound [[umbel]]s in late autumn or early winter, followed by small black [[fruit]].
+===Propagation===
+{{edit-prop}}<!--- Type propagation info below this line, then delete this entire line -->
-The name "Fatsi" is older Japanese, meaning 'eight' (in present-day Japanese ''hachi''), referring to the eight lobes. The name "Japanese Aralia" is due to the genus formerly being classified within a broader interpretation of the related genus ''[[Aralia]]'' in the past.
+===Pests and diseases===
+{{edit-pests}}<!--- Type pest/disease info below this line, then delete this entire line -->
-===Cultivation and uses===
+==Species==
-It is commonly grown as an [[ornamental plant]] in warm temperate regions where winters do not fall below about -15°C.
