Hi

Hi Timmo.
Maybe your soil is too well-drained. I understand that T. papyrifera is not really drought resistant (big leaves, big moisture losses -> drooping leaves)
I guess that in the UK you should have plenty of moisture 8-) but if that soil is really too well-drained it may be a problem...

Hi
I think it could have been due to planting out that the plant lost a few lower leaves as it seems to be doing ok now :-) . Its not has fast growing as I thought, as its starting to be dwarfed by it neighbours! - Canna musifolia and paulonia tomentosa :-D

From what I heard, a Tetrapanax being dwarfed by a Canna should be only be very temporary. They're huge beasts
