The Japanese Umbrella Pine is a slow-growing, evergreen conifer admired for its unique, whorled foliage and symmetrical, pyramidal form. Native to Japan, this tree gets its name from the way its dark green, glossy needles radiate outward like the spokes of an umbrella. It typically grows 20 to 30 feet tall over many years, with a dense, upright shape that makes it a striking specimen in the landscape. This conifer prefers full sun to partial shade and thrives in moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Hardy in USDA zones 5 to 8, it is valued for its unusual texture, rich year-round color, and graceful structure. Though slow to establish, the Japanese Umbrella Pine is a long-lived, architectural plant ideal for focal points, formal gardens, or collectors of rare and unusual trees.
