The False Aralia features finely divided leaves which give it a feathery appearance. Older false aralias, which have developed woody trunks, are perfect trees for decorating empty walls, softening furniture, and creating a living privacy screen or room divider. Also known as a Spider Aralia and Threadleaf Aralia.
Note: These plants have had their botanical names changed a fair amount. You may see them sold as Aralia elegantissima, Schefflera elegantissima, Dizygotheca elegantissima, or Plerandra elegantissima.
