I inherited this plant when I started my job five years ago. This has always been in my Berkeley CA office, which has an east-facing window. I've pruned it at least four times since then and it keeps growing. It is literally touching the ceiling! Does anyone know what this plant is?

Looks like a Schefflera. That's probably one of the bigger ones I've seen growing indoors, but outdoors they can grow into trees

Wow! That's the fullest one I have ever seen. It must love the location (and care) it's receiving. Beautiful!!!

That's VERY full of leaves! I've seen bigger but not fuller leaved! Leave it right there! Bright light, early morning or late afternoon sun only. VERY nice specimen!

I have one no wheres near that big that's about 15+ years old.
