The Japanese Umbrella Pine Sciadopitys verticillata is a graceful and unusual coniferous tree that hails from Japan. This evergreen gets its common name from its distinctive needle arrangement, which forms neat whorls that look rather like umbrella spokes. The glossy, deep green foliage provides attractive year-round colour and texture.

This slow-growing tree can reach heights of up to 12 metres at maturity, creating an impressive specimen that works beautifully as a standalone feature or within mixed plantings in gardens.

The tree grows best in moist, well-draining soil and enjoys a protected spot with full sun to 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.
