Hi can I grow an Acer in my front garden it gets very very hot there in summer and cold and windy in winter ...if we get frost ...haven't had any last winter though ...thank you
I'm thoroughly confused. I planted a castor oil plant , bought at a gaden centre ( no idea which sort) in a very large pot and it's thrived in our little courtyard which gets hardly any sun. We're in Fife in Scotland but very sheltered. I don't know whether to take a chance and leave it where it is ( and hope for the best.....no seed pods have appeared..or winter it indoors where there will be a drastic chance in environment.
Hi Iv got to castor oil plant in a garden I'm working at the moment she brought the plants from holland with her over twenty years ago and placed them on two beautiful pots they have since outgrown and broke the pots will they survive a move ? Or is it possible to take a cutting and replant there over seven foot tall wouldn't be easy to move them.
I had a wobble over which plant mine was last year until I decided it was quite definately not a "Caster oil plant"
As many have said this is why we should use the latin names. Fatsia Japonica . or "False castor Oil plant" We really need to make sure exactly what plant we are dealing with, particularly when you are potentially dealing with an extremely dangerous plant .
Ricinus communis, castor oil plant - THE POISON GARDEN websitewww.thepoisongarden.co.uk/atoz/ricinus_communis.htmRicinus communis, castor oil plant, is usually described as absolutely deadly in the tiniest of amounts, 50000 tonnes a year are being produced and it is usually.......
My Fatsia Japonica has lovely leaves. It grows well and is easy to prune right down as far as you like.
Since I've had two small grandchildren, I am particularly wary about several of my garden plants .
i have two Fatsia in pots and have recently been given a ricinus by a friend who has an enormous spiky Castor Oil Tree (Ricinus) in her garden. It towers above her house and has clearly been there for a few years so has survived the winters well. My 4 foot baby is going into a pot for now but I hope it turns out as hardy as its parent.

I'd start a new thread sharon. This one is about castor oil plants and might not be viewed by acer experts
In the sticks near Peterborough

Can I put caster oil plant cuttings in garden waste bin if there are are no black seed heads ?
The seeds are quite deadly aren't they...

Hello everyone,
i have two Fatsia in pots and have recently been given a ricinus by a friend who has an enormous spiky Castor Oil Tree (Ricinus) in her garden. It towers above her house and has clearly been there for a few years so has survived the winters well. My 4 foot baby is going into a pot for now but I hope it turns out as hardy as its parent.
