Yeah i stand corrected, my partner has just told me that Fatsia japonica's sap has a toxin called sarin in it that apparently used in nerve gas ?!! It won't do us any harm, our horticulture lecturer told us this at college.

Thanxs Spritz and Peter, something will come up if you want it enough, i believe in fate ! About the fatsia thanxs for the advice on pruning, not sure if i want to prune it back hard because of where it is situated, it's kinda under a window. As for it being poisonous, i was under the impression that it's sap contains cyanide ?!! I'm probably wrong will have to check it out for myself at some point.

I have this and it's also next to my front door in the shade, the thing is it's rather big now and i was just wondering if it's ok to prune it. I read somewhere that the sap is poisonous ? Can anyone help ?
