Description
A broad, parasol-like crown and peeling orange-red bark make Pinus densiflora Umbraculifera a distinctive small conifer for formal, Japanese-style, and compact gardens. Slow growth, dense green needles, and a naturally multi-stemmed framework keep the tree sculptural through every season.
Grow it in full sun on well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Moderate watering is most important while the root system establishes; avoid waterlogged ground. Pinch vigorous new candles in spring when a tighter outline is wanted, then make only light shaping cuts.
