| Can't answer your question but the plant you have is Schefflera arboricola 'Trinette'. You could Google for information or maybe someone on the Houseplant forum knows the answer. I do know they are a cinch from cuttings. |

| I see a lot of these seeds around, are they good to germinate? ===>>> no one can tell you whether a given seed is viable .. plant them and find out They are black dry very tiny ones, ===>> if you are asking us to ID the seeds .... impossible on words alone .. will they germinate to yellow leaves shrubs? ==>> plant a handful ... and pick out all the green ones.. and let them die.. choosing only the yellow.. if that is what you want ... Anyone have done that? ==>> i have not .. but you can probably google: growing Schefflera arboricola 'Trinette' from seed .... the only question that comes to my mind.. is if they root easily.. might it not be easier to root some pieces from a plant you like.. rather than dealing with tiny seedlings for a lot of years.. again.. google: Schefflera arboricola 'Trinette' propagation good luck ... ken |

| Schefflera arboricola is dioecious so it is either male or female. Your female plant will not have fertile seeds unless a male plant is around. tj |
