Also commonly referred to as the “Umbrella Tree,” the Green Arboricola is a popular ornamental plant both for indoor and outdoor settings. Native to Taiwan and Hainan, this plant is favored for its glossy, green foliage and easy-going nature. The Green Arboricola boasts a moderate growth rate. When grown indoors, it typically reaches a height of 4-6 feet, but outdoor plants in optimal conditions can grow much taller. Indoors, the Green Arboricola prefers bright, indirect sunlight. If grown outdoors, it flourishes in dappled sunlight or partial shade. This plant prefers consistently moist soil, but it’s crucial to avoid overwatering. The Green Arboricola is adaptable and resilient. However, it thrives in higher humidity. It’s relatively pest-resistant. The Green Arboricola’s dense, bushy growth and ability to be pruned into various shapes make it a versatile choice for gardeners and homeowners. Whether you’re looking for an indoor focal point or a green addition to a shaded garden, the Green Arboricola is a reliable and attractive choice.
Frequently Asked Questions
How to Plant & Care for Green Arboricola in Florida
Choose Sun + Spacing
Most Florida plants prefer full to partial sun. Check mature width and space accordingly so plants don’t crowd as they fill in.
Dig Wide, Not Deep
Dig a hole 2–3x wider than the container and slightly shallow. This encourages roots to spread outward into native soil.
Plant at Proper Height
Remove from the pot, loosen circling roots, and plant with the root ball level to slightly above grade.
Water to Establish
Water deeply right after planting. For the first 10–14 days, consistent moisture is critical—don’t let the root ball dry out.
Mulch + Light Maintenance
Apply 2–3 inches of mulch (keep off the stem). Once settled, light trimming encourages fuller growth.

Dino's Palms just completed a full landscape install at our property in Tequesta. They planted 10 Christmas palms, 9 Coconuts, Silver buttonwood trees, hundreds of clusia, and more small plants. I cannot speak highly enough about the quality and service.
Great price for plants with delivery in PBC. They also did the install and did a great job! I ordered Saturday and had everything in by end of Tuesday. They were quick, upfront with pricing, reasonable and the plants are healthy and gorgeous. Highly recommend!
