Name That Plant!

Cant identify indoor tree

10 years ago

I was given this tree to care for, unfortunately the name of the tree and instructions were not clear when given to my son, and I have no way of contacting this person to do so...I watered it because the soil was quite dry and now its lovely branches and leaves are coming off....I feel wretched!!!! And am nervous that I have killed it so to speak...I have no idea how to care for this tree!!! Help

Dizzygotheca elegantissima aka False Aralia.

Looks a bit dusty & thirsty, but otherwise looks pretty good & from here, large too!

Could be leaf drop just from the move, maybe give it some time (a week or 2) to adjust to its new home.

Dizygotheca has been relegated to synonym status, Scheff is the accepted epithet.
