Schefflera
actinophylla, commonly known as umbrella tree, is native to rainforests in
Australia and New Guinea where it grows as a tree to 50’ tall. It is widely
grown in temperate climates as an ornamental houseplant. Indoors it is usually
seen growing in the range of 6-15’ tall. It features palmately compound bright
green leaves (7-16 leaflets). On each leaf, the elliptic to ovate leaflets (to
12” long) radiate outward in an umbrella-like fashion, hence the common name.
Inflorescence consists of small red flowers in compact umbels that appear on
long stalks (to 2’) radiating out like the tentacles of an octopus, hence the
additional common name of octopus tree. Flowers may be followed by subglobose
small black drupes.
