Description

botanical name ( Schefflera arboricola variegated ) This is an erect, well-branched shrub or tree with palmate, glossy foliage splashed with yellow. A “parasol” of seven or more leaflets radiates from each leaf stalk. If the growing point of the main stem is removed, the plant will take on a bushy habit. The species gets its common names from the spread of the leaf veins, which set the leaflets into an almost perfectly symmetrical umbrella or parasol.
