Dwarf Umbrella Tree

Schefflera arboricola

The dwarf umbrella tree is a generously structured tropical shrub whose glossy, palmate compound leaves are arranged in distinct whorls, creating a lush, layered canopy whether grown as a bold houseplant specimen or within sheltered subtropical planting schemes. In frost-free gardens it develops into a substantial architectural presence, its stems thickening and becoming sculpturally woody with age.
