Schefflera actinophylla ‘Alpine Junior’ – Alpine Junior Umbrella Tree
Create a lush tropical atmosphere with Schefflera actinophylla ‘Alpine Junior’, a compact selection of the popular Umbrella Tree. Featuring dense clusters of glossy, deep green leaflets arranged in its distinctive umbrella-like form, this attractive evergreen brings year-round colour and texture to both indoor and outdoor spaces. Its naturally compact habit makes it an excellent choice for feature pots, patios, courtyards, offices and tropical-inspired gardens where space is limited.
Easy to grow and highly adaptable, Alpine Junior thrives in bright, indirect light indoors or full sun to part shade outdoors in frost-free climates. It performs well in well-drained soil and requires only moderate watering once established. With its lush foliage, tidy growth and low-maintenance nature, this versatile plant is ideal for homes, commercial landscapes and contemporary garden designs.
