Author Content ellemicke November 4, 2009 07:27 PM Post #7242013 Hi There- We have inherited this plant & everyone loves it, but we have no idea what it is! It doesn't seem to need a lot of water, leaves are bumpy, curved and have fine little teeth along the edges. It currently stands about 4 1/2 to 5 feet tall. Any input is appreciated! I have a few more pictures, I could email them to you if it would help.

Upon getting the species I checked them out- it's the Black Aralia version, the leaves are a definite match :)!
