Illicium verum leaves are large and light green, which is a good foliage tree species.
Suitable for garden, patio and other shady places or three-dimensional greening planting under trees.
Potted plants are often used for indoor greening in the north.
The octagonal golden disk is an evergreen shrub with a stem height of 4 ~ 5 meters.
A clustered spherical crown.
Leaves large, palmately 7-9-lobed, alternate.
Umbellies, white, bisexual, terminal, flowering 10 ~ 1 1 month.
Common varieties are octagonal gold plate with white edge, octagonal gold plate with yellow stripe, octagonal gold plate with yellow spot, octagonal gold plate with split leaves, octagonal gold plate with wavy edge and octagonal gold plate with white spot.
The octagonal gold plate likes shade and moisture.
I like warm and humid climate, but I'm afraid of drought, heat and bright light.
Cold tolerance is not strong.
Strong resistance to harmful gases.
The branches of Illicium verum grow from the ground, clustered, and adopt the way of bush-like shaping.
The growth potential is strong from April to June. When the upper leaves grow out, the lower leaves have weakened and turned yellow. When the growth ends in May and June, the height is fixed, and the old leaves and yellow leaves are cut off from the base.
If it is allowed to grow naturally, only a few buds will grow on the ground, and the branches are stout, not too long axillary buds, and the branching performance is poor.
Therefore, axillary buds can be grown by cutting off too high branches from the base or above the ground.
In the middle of the stem, cutting off the upper part of the leaf bud can make the plant dwarf and the branches and leaves smaller.
