Sciadopitys verticillata ‘Sternschnuppe’ Japanese Umbrella Pine
- Slow-growing, pyramidal pine
- Whorls of wide, fused, green needles spaced along stems; 3" ovoid, brown cones
- Show-stopping, living fossil; perfect specimen tree for small spaces, rock gardens or containers
Description
This cultivar originated as a seedling in Germany that was derived from radiated seed. It has a very narrow, upright habit and needles that are fused together. This makes the plant very thick-textured because the needles are twice as wide as the species–a very unique cultivar that doesn’t take up much space.
