Umbrella Tree

Guess what’s adding a burst of beauty to South Florida right now?

Originally from Australia, Java, and New Guinea
Can grow up to an impressive 50 feet
Boasts gorgeous deep green palmate leaves
Sports large, tentacle-like appendages adorned with hundreds of crimson red blooms
Thankfully, not bothered much by pests
A favorite among our buzzing friends, the bees
Handles poor soil, heat, and drought like a champ

In simple terms, it’s the perfect plant for our sunny South Florida.

This unique character brings an exotic and tropical vibe to our landscaping. Just a heads up, though—it can get a bit invasive in certain situations.

We’ve got one of these Umbrella Trees popping up on our undeveloped lot. Initially, I had no idea what it was. With its exotic appearance, I thought it might be some tropical fruit tree. Now that I know better, it’s a delightful addition to our green space.

Cheers to the wonders of nature!
