Sciadopitys verticillata 'Propeller'
Sciadopitys verticillata ‘Propeller’, commonly known as Japanese Umbrella Pine ‘Propeller’, is an evergreen conifer with a narrow, structured conical habit, prized for its unique whorled foliage. Its thick, lustrous, dark green needles are grouped in bundles arranged in a propeller-like spoke pattern, hence its distinctive name. This dense, architectural texture brings exceptional character to contemporary gardens, whether as a specimen plant or in conifer beds. With slow to moderate growth, it maintains a regular silhouette without significant pruning. Sciadopitys verticillata ‘Propeller’ prefers rich, slightly acidic, well-drained soil, as well as a sunny to partially shaded exposure, protected from drying winds. Very hardy, it offers a refined and persistent presence in cold climates.
