3 Aralia spinosa Root Cuttings 24 Inch Long Devil's Walkingstick Propagation Stems

Aralia spinosa, commonly called devil's walkingstick, is a bold deciduous shrub or small tree known for its thick, spiny stems and enormous compound leaves that can reach several feet long. It brings a dramatic, tropical look to temperate landscapes and is a standout choice for gardeners who enjoy unusual, architectural plants.
Root cuttings are a practical way to propagate this species, which spreads naturally by suckering. The 24-inch stems can be planted horizontally or vertically in a well-draining medium to encourage new shoots. Devil's walkingstick works well as a specimen plant, in a mixed border, or in a naturalized woodland setting where its late-season clusters of small white flowers and dark berries can be enjoyed.
