Aralia spinosa, also known as Devil's Walking Stick, is a unique and visually striking clump-forming shrub or small tree. With extremely prickly stems and large bipinnate leaves that can grow up to 6 feet long, this plant is truly a showstopper. In the late summer, it produces large creamy-white flowers in composite panicles up to 2 feet long. The purplish-black berries that ripen in the fall are another distinctive feature. The young leaves are edible and can be cooked like a potherb, but must be gathered before the prickles harden. This plant is also loved by wildlife and is a moderate grower, making it a great addition to any landscape. Purchase your own Devil's Walkingstick today and add a touch of unique charm to your garden!
