Native to subtropical regions this small robust plant is often cultivated as a rock bonsai because it develops mangrove like roots. Glossy green leaves are delicately divided and upright umbels produce orange-red to black berries. The leaves are miniature and shaped like umbrellas which together form a beautiful green and dense canopy. The trunk is relatively thin and does not branch out into a crown as some other tropical plants do and prolific root growth is interesting and very attractive. The Hawaiian Umbrella Tree comes in a dwarf version that makes a beautiful bonsai. In fact this particular Bonsai tree is probably one of the easiest to grow and maintain making it perfect for beginners. Each live plant is shipped with the Phytosanitary Certificate as required by the USDA. See more
