Both are Poisonous
Reply:Schefflera actinophylla - synonym Brassia actinophylla : Umbrella Tree or Schefflera


Native to: Australia and New Guinea. This old time favorite has been a staple of the house plant industry for decades. The fast growing "Umbrella Tree" is easy to keep and over time...can grow to the ceiling.





Parts can be "difficult" but not the whole plant. One site said don't let your rabbits eat any (1) (LOL). One site listed it as toxic (2) One site listed it as a outdoor nuisance plant (3).





so, quick and dirty.....both are toxic.
Reply:I have both. Living in Sydney they thrive.


The umbrella tree grows in a pot %26amp; is over 7 foot tall


It is poisonous to small animals. If you've got pet birds don't put them near these trees.
