Amate Umbrella Tree Specimens: Schefflera actinophylla – D – 10″ Pot 3.5′ Tall

The Australian Umbrella Tree (Schefflera actinophylla), also known as the ‘Amate’ or Octopus Tree, is a dramatic tropical evergreen prized for its glossy, dark green foliage. Its large leaves radiate from central points to create a distinct umbrella-like canopy that can grow quite tall, even when kept indoors. Native to the rainforests of Australia and New Guinea, it is a vigorous grower that doubles as an excellent air purifier for homes or offices. While it can reach massive heights in the wild, it is easily maintained as a bold, structural centerpiece in a bright indoor corner.

These single-stem specimens have been separated from a Mother plant and pruned back by our team. These forms have a purposefully minimalist silhouette with a wabi-sabi feel that brings character to any room.
