Cheeseplant?

[poliphilo]

I think this is a cheeseplant. (Please tell me if you know better). It used to live in the house, but got too big and scraggy, so I moved it to the backyard- fully expecting its first winter to kill it off. Instead it has flourished as it never did indoors- and now stands as high as my chest.

Looks like Fatsia japonica to me.

Could well be. I've followed up on your suggestion- and there's a photo of fatsi japonica on a BBC website that's almost a duplicate of mine (except that mine is better).

Good call!
