Native to rainforests in Australia and New Guinea where it grows as a tree to 50’ tall. Umbrella tree 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. Flowers and fruits rarely appear on indoor plants, however. Genus name honors 19th century German botanist, J. C. Scheffler. Synonymous with Brassaia actinophylla.
