Macaranga grandifolia – Parasol Leaf Tree (6″ pot) (imperfections)

Description

Macaranga grandifolia is a gorgeous tropical shrub or tree that is endemic to The Philippines. It develops showy, large, rounded-ovate leaves that resemble a parasol umbrella. These grand leaves will be a show-stopper in your yard. Male plants produce a pinkish inflorescence, but I would not purchase this tree for the flowers. Macaranga can grow in frost-free locations. They can grow anywhere from full sun to shade. This is a rare and unusual plant that you don’t see in everyone’s garden.

Please understand that plants with large leaves can arrive with some torn or damaged leaves. We cannot guarantee a perfect leaf but we can guarantee that it will not affect the plant’s health and that we will pack very well.
