FamilySciadopityaceae
TypeConiferous
Botanical nameSciadopitys verticillata 'Joe Kozey'

Sciadopitys verticillata 'Joe Kozey' is a columnar selection of the Japanese umbrella pine, prized for its narrow, upright, and dense habit, as well as its brilliant dark green foliage, arranged in supple and decorative whorls. Perfect for small spaces, original hedges, or structuring columnar plantings, this cultivar maintains a naturally slender shape without pruning. Narrower than the species, it retains the unique and evergreen texture of the genus, while bringing a graphic, vertical, and refined presence to the garden. Very hardy, it prefers a sunny to semi-shaded exposure and an acidic, fresh, and well-drained soil. 'Joe Kozey' combines a neat form, architectural foliage, and horticultural rarity, ideal for use as a specimen or vertical accent.
