Sciadopityaceae
Sciadopitys verticillata 'Green Star', also known as the Japanese Umbrella Pine, is a slow to moderate-growing ornamental conifer that forms a dense, regular conical shape. It is recognizable by its unique whorled foliage, consisting of long, flexible, glossy dark green needles that are evergreen and decorative all year round. 'Green Star' stands out for its compact habit, balanced silhouette, and increased cold hardiness compared to the species. Highly valued as a specimen plant, in Asian gardens, rock gardens, or collection plantings, it prefers acidic, moist, well-drained soil and a sunny to partially shaded exposure. This exceptional conifer combines original texture, lustrous foliage, and a neat habit, bringing a rare and elegant botanical touch to well-designed landscapes.
