No I don't ...Hi Catherine, glad you stopped by. No I don't believe the Schefflera is related to the Manihot (assuming I've got the right name for the tapioca tree). The Schefflera is part of the Araliaceae family and thanks to your question I now know the Manihot is part of the family Euphorbiaceae. I do see the resemblance though. Maybe even more so with the fatsia polycarpa (another Araliaceae), see pictures here: https://www.google.com/search?q=fatsia+polycarpa&hl=en&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=rxNTUajyJ8SLiAKQ-IG4BQ&sqi=2&ved=0CDIQsAQ&biw=1071&bih=602danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-25927839650911146212013-03-27T08:39:42.827-07:002013-03-27T08:39:42.827-07:00Tough life eh Hoov?
