Better known as the Wintergreen Japanese Umbrella Pine, this Sciadopitys verticillata is spot on if you are searching for a special conical evergreen tree. Growing to around 20 to 30 feet tall, the Wintergreen Japanese Umbrella Pine develops dense and dark green needles that keep their color over winter and cones in the fall.
Slow growing and with a naturally pleasing shape, the Wintergreen Japanese Umbrella Pine is definitely well behaved. It is low maintenance, resistant to deer, and typically disease- and pest-free. Native to Japan, this Umbrella pine is often found in forests. Here, it is suitable for planting in zones 5 to 8. The Wintergreen Japanese Umbrella Pine is often grown either as a specimen to provide winter interest or as an eye-catching hedge.
Wintergreen Japanese Umbrella Pine Care
Even though it is slow growing, you will want to plant this Wintergreen Japanese Umbrella Pine where it will not affect any power lines or overhangs. Enjoying full to partial sun, provide protection from harsh afternoon sun if you live in a warm climate. It prefers fertile, slightly acidic, moist, yet well-drained soil and cannot tolerate soils that are prone to waterlogging. To help it establish, keep the soil moist upon planting and for the first few seasons after. Once established, watering tends to only be needed during hot and dry spells. No fertilization is required.
Pruning is not generally needed as the Wintergreen Japanese Umbrella Pine forms a pleasing shape naturally. Nevertheless, you can remove any dead or damaged wood, and lightly reduce the new candle growth as required.
Mulching annually can help improve the soil content and conserve moisture during the summer months.
Wintergreen Japanese Umbrella Pine Spacing
Over time, the Wintergreen Japanese Umbrella Pine can grow to 30 feet tall and 15 feet wide. You can plant this Umbrella Pine with a spacing of 15 feet apart or closer to form a hedge.

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
