berry laden plant needs id

Kenzie_POM · 01-24-2006, 03:02 PM

Hello Ya'll,

I need some help identifing this plant. It flowered late summer. Pretty interesting. The flowers were covered with bees and (get this) flies. They were everywhere. The flowers have now turned into berries/fruits and hopefully soon seeds. I just need help finding out what kind of plant/bush this is.

Thank you for all your help. It is greatly appreciated.

Fatsia japonica, also known as Japanese aralia. It's a very hardy, subtropical-looking plant, hardy down into the single digits. Here's one I left behind in Nashville, TN a couple of months ago when I moved to Knoxville.

I need to go back and dig it up! I wish I'd taken it with me now. They aren't exactly easy to find here in TN.
