Plant Description

The Japanese Umbrella Pine (Sciadopitys verticillata) is a unique and ancient conifer, displaying glossy, needle-like foliage that grows in elegant, whorled clusters resembling the spokes of an umbrella. Its dark green needles are thick, soft, and rubbery to the touch, creating a dense, lush appearance. The bark is rich brown, peels in thin strips, and adds an intriguing texture. A slow-growing tree, this conifer can reach 15–20 meters, thriving as both a garden focal point and a rare specimen. Its resilience and distinct look make it a living relic of a bygone era.
