AlsoUmbrella tree
A medium-sized tree with a distinctive crown of branches arranged in horizontal tiers, which gives it a formal, layered outline. The bark is mottled pale grey with brownish lenticels, and the small, glossy, spoon-shaped leaves have slightly wavy margins. Small greenish flowers without petals are carried on short spikes, followed by smooth wingless fruits, though it seldom flowers in some cultivated areas.

Worth knowingIts branches grow in neat horizontal tiers, so a row of these trees looks like a set of layered umbrellas.
