I've just had a look on the GW site with no luck, and missed the episode when it was planted, but does anyone know what the plant with big leaves to the left of the chausan palm is? Someone I asked said fatsia, but I don't think so, different leaf shape. Whatever it is, I want one!
I think it was Fatsia Japonica
I may be wrong, but I didn't think it was a Fatsia. Looked a different leaf shape to mine.

I have just watched Episode 9 of GW on IPlayer. Toby was planting gladioli and then stated that the Eucomis he was planting would benefit from the shade of the Fatsia. I agree it is not a magnificent specimen and needs some tlc to bulk it up.
Thanks Yakram. Well, I am amazed! I would have put money on it not being a Fatsia. I hope they show it tonight so I can have a good look.
Marie, you are going to be seriously disappointed, don't you know its that time of year when once again the gardening goes to make way for more B-----Y sport. Do they really need it to be on both channels? Living in a house with four sports mad man I am always out numbered!!
two weeks for wimbledon. you know.... they would be on a summer break anyway ...
Silly me! Looked in at 8pm friday night and thought 'Huh, where's it gone?'. Then I realised - Wimbledon. Still, Wimbledon is dear to me as I was born and spent my school days there. But I still missed watching GW.
mmm, home grown strawberries, cream AND a brit in the semi finals ! yaaaaaaaaaaaay!
If you liked the Fatsia you'll love Tetrapanax Papyrifer 'Rex'. Look here for the growth rate:
Certainly provides a talking point.
