''Oreopanax dactylifolius'' is a shrub or small tree endemic to Mexico. ==Description== ''Oreopanax dactylifolius'' is evergreen, and has a medium growth rate, with a mature height of at least 10 feet. The 5-lobed, generally symmetrical leaves resemble maple leaves, light green with a bronze tinge, but with texture reminding one of its ivy-like relatives. The branch structure is very emphatic and the bark texture similar to that of ivy in its bushy or arborescent stage. ==Cultivation== ''Oreopanax dactylifolius'' is sometimes used in horticulture for its form and decorative foliage. A specimen tentatively identified as this species has been growing at the "Vets Garden," a therapy garden attached to the Veterans Affairs Hospital of Sawtelle, Los Angeles, CA USA, (90073), for at least 30 years and perhaps more than 40. Its height is approximately 20 feet and the width of its crown about 12 feet. It was not affected by a winter mid 20’s /low 30’s frost in early 2007. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Oreopanax dactylifolius」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
