What will the growth from the base do? Make new stems?

Used to live in a house with large Victorian conservatory.Fatsia so old it had thick branches and needed pruning with a saw over 15 feet high and lost all lower leaves as it grew.Dozens of them forever clearing but amazingly vigorous.

Thank you both SOOO much - I feel a lot happier about it! I hadn't noticed its annual habits in previous years because this year I have re-vamped the border thus exposing the Fatsia to view! I can relax about it now.

Spritz mine is going through the same as I type. I thought I might have a problem, but like you mine has got new growth top and bottom.
Fingers crossed this is what they do.

Hi Spritz.
Isn't this pretty normal for Fatsias?? ours certainly used to lose yellowed leaves around now (used to mess the pond up something rotten)but they always grew back.I may be wrong but ours reached 6 ft and was fine .Even evergreens must surely have to renew their leaves sometimes?

Nice to know Grenville that these plants are happy in containers I might just put ours in one at least that way we can swap around whenever we like.Hel.xxx.

I just love the shape and waxy sheen of this plant's leaves. I Wish it was hardy in my zone garden.

Our fatsia developed three huge cream flower spikes last summer 2007.
It is in a container and has grown to over two metres high. It seems to need a lot of slow release food during the growing season, and we have to watch for caterpillars who seem to attack the leaves from time to time, but it is a lovely structural plant and gives good all year colour.

If the example I had is anything to go by they eventually develop into a tree like shrub off one main stem.This must have been planted when conservatory built as it had thick woody branches.
