×'''''Fatshedera lizei''''' ({{pron-en|fætsˈhɛdərə}})<ref>''Sunset Western Garden Book,'' 1995:606–607</ref> is an inter-generic [[Hybrid (biology)|hybrid]] of [[flowering plant]]s, commonly known as '''tree ivy''' or '''aralia ivy'''. It was created by hybridizing ''[[Fatsia japonica]]'' 'Moserii' (Moser's Japanese Fatsia, the seed parent) and ''[[Hedera helix]]'' (Common Ivy, the pollen parent) at the [[Lizé Frères]] tree nursery at [[Nantes]] in [[France]] in 1912. Its generic name is derived from the names of the two parent genera. The plant combines the [[shrub]]by shape of ''[[Fatsia]]'' with the five-lobed leaves of ''[[Ivy|Hedera]]''. As a shrub, Fatshedera can grow up to 1.2 m tall, above which the weight of the fairly weak branches makes them tend to bend over. It can however also be tied to a support and grow into a [[vine]] up to 3-4 m tall; unlike ''Hedera'', it does not readily climb without assistance. The [[leaf]] blades are 7-25 cm long and broad, with a 5-20 cm petiole. The [[flower]]s are 4-6 mm diameter, yellowish-white, produced in late autumn or early winter in dense [[umbel]]s; they are [[infertility|sterile]] and do not produce any fruit. It is grown both as a [[garden]] plant outdoors, and as a [[houseplant]] indoors, where its tolerance of shady conditions is valued. Inside they will grow well in bright indirect light. Outdoors, it can tolerate winter temperatures down to −15 °C, but can also be grown successfully indoors with temperatures never falling below 20 °C. Several [[cultivar]]s have been selected, with dark green to variously white- or yellow-[[variegation|variegated]] leaves. ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Varieties== ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== <references/> <!--- xxxxx *Flora: The Gardener's Bible, by Sean Hogan.
