Schefflera Amate

The schefflera amate is a beautiful tree native to the rainforests in Australia and New Guinea. It is a fast-growing tree that, when in its natural environment, can grow up to 65 feet tall.

Also known as the Australian umbrella tree, this lovely foliage with its glossy green leaves is also suitable as a houseplant.

In an indoor environment, the schefflera amate typically grows anywhere from five to ten feet, the average being eight.

Despite being a tropical plant, it adapts to numerous types of environments – one of the various reasons it makes a great indoor plant. Of course, its appearance certainly makes a wonderful addition to any home or office.
