Ficus Anita Stump Schefflera / Umbrella Tree

Ficus Anita Stump Schefflera / Umbrella Tree

Character begins at the roots.

The Ficus Anita Stump is a plant with a story already written into its form. The thick, sculptural stump base — gnarled and full of personality — gives way to a lush canopy of deep, glossy, finger-like leaflets that radiate outward in the signature umbrella formation. It is at once ancient-looking and completely at home in a modern interior.

No two stumps are identical. What arrives is entirely its own — a living sculpture as much as a houseplant.
