Sciadopitys verticillata 'Green Star'

A slow-growing evergreen conifer with a pyramidal form. Gray-green needles are blunt at the tips & shorter than the species, giving 'Green Star' a sturdy appearance. Prefers organic rich well-drained soil. Has a broad upright habit & reaches roughly 12’ tall by 6’ wide in size.

Sciadopitys verticillata 'Joe Kozey'

Narrower than the species, 'Joe Kozey' is an extraordinary cultivar that stands out from the rest. It withstands snow loads much better because its branches are sturdier & they are held more tightly to the trunk than other types. At maturity, the slow-growing Japanese Umbrella Pine becomes a large, spire-like tree.  Has a narrow upright growth habit & reaches roughly 20’ tall by 6’ wide in size, growing 12” to 15” a year.

Has a broad upright growth habit & reaches roughly 4’ tall by 3’ wide in size, growing 3” to 5” a year.

Sciadopitys verticillata 'Propeller'

Glossy green needles are relatively thin & arch with a bit of a twist to remind us of a plane propeller. A medium-sized tree with compact growth, it maintains a solid green all year around. Originating
as a selection from Germany, we’re excited about this new offering as its dense form will be an asset in many garden situations. Best in rich, acidic soil that is well-drained. Tolerates full sun & partial shade. Has a broad upright growth habit & reaches roughly 6’ tall by 8’ wide in size, growing 1” to 6” a year.
