Sciadopitys verticillata 'Green Star'

Common Name: Green Star Japanese Umbrella Pine

Clusters of succulent, glossy, dark green needles radiate outward from the branches of this Japanese umbrella pine, making it look like it is covered in green stars. The unique texture of the lush foliage on this densely branched tree makes it almost look tropical, but it is reliably winter hardy and its strong, stocky branches enable it to stand up more effectively to snow. ‘Green Star’ makes a stunning focal point in a full sun location with moist, acidic soil.
