A newcomer to the world of decorative house trees, the Heteropanax are chosen for their small leaves that resemble an outdoor tree, not often found in such a manageable size at just over a meter tall.
The fast growing new leaves of the QuinceTree beautifully unfurl before your eyes, and can even be clipped to create your ideal shape.
Evergreen shrubs or trees in the family Araliaceae, native to Asia, they are very drought tolerant and need infrequent watering, and a bright spot with indirect light.
