Comments:
This is a tropical tree which is often used in greenhouse and conservatory plantings. It grows quite tall in time, but can be cut back periodically to keep growth and height in check. Produces foliage palmately-lobed leaves very much like the more common schefflera. Cannot tolerate freezing temperatures.
