The Umbrella Pine, Sciadopitys verticillata, is a distinctive and elegant coniferous tree native to Japan. Its unique, whorled foliage resembles the spokes of an umbrella, hence its name. This slow-growing evergreen is prized for its ornamental value, with glossy, dark green needles that provide year-round interest.
With a mature height of up to 12 metres, the Umbrella Pine makes a striking focal point in any landscape, whether planted as a specimen tree or incorporated into mixed borders.
It thrives in moist, well-drained soil and prefers a sheltered position in full sun or partial shade.
Caring for Sciadopitys verticillata is straightforward, but it requires patience due to its slow growth. Plant it in a spot with full sun to partial shade. It prefers moist, well-draining, slightly acidic soil. Water regularly during its first few years to establish a strong root system. Once established, it’s moderately drought-tolerant but appreciates consistent moisture. Mulch around the base to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Pruning is generally not necessary. If needed, do it in late winter or early spring. Feed annually in spring with a slow-release, balanced fertiliser. Japanese Umbrella Pine is generally pest and disease resistant. However, keep an eye out for spider mites in dry conditions. This tree benefits from protection from strong winds, especially in colder regions.
