Description
Sciadopitys verticillata, or Japanese umbrella pine, is an impressive evergreen conifer native to Japan, valued for its distinct, whorled clusters of long, glossy green needles that radiate outward in an umbrella-like shape. This slow-growing tree can reach impressive heights over time, making it an excellent choice for both small and large landscapes. Its upright form and striking needle clusters provide year-round interest and structure.
This hardy tree thrives in well-drained, acidic soil and prefers partial to full sun, making it an ideal addition to garden beds, rock gardens, or as a specimen tree in more formal landscapes. Sciadopitys verticillata is relatively low-maintenance and can tolerate drought once established, although regular watering is recommended during dry periods. Its unique appearance and elegant shape make it a standout feature in any garden, adding both texture and timeless beauty to outdoor spaces.
