Tupidanthus calyptratus - 20cm sun lover arrow-shaped leaves with distinctive edgingThis delightful tree is closely related to our favourite native Schefflera (the Tupidanthus has the syn. of Schefflera pueckleri), however this Umbrella Tree hails from Myanmar and India and likes a brighter position than its lower light tolerant cousins. A fast growing plant that will reward you with minimal fuss. It cuts a striking figure against white walls where it can cast a graceful shadow in the morning sun. Available in 20cm plastic nursery
