Sciadopitys verticillata 'Propeller'

This intriguing evergreen is a wonderful choice for large container planters or as a focal point in smaller gardens due in part to its clean, green, year-round foliage and fascinating growth pattern. Propeller Japanese Umbrella Pine describes this sciadopitys to a T, with whorls of needles shaped like umbrellas, and with the added twist to the tips so they resemble little propellers. This particular variety is slow to grow, only six inches maximum per year, so it fits nicely in large container planters, combining with summer annuals or perennials initially, then gradually taking over the container as it matures. Propeller Japanese Umbrella Pine may eventually reach six feet in height and eight feet in width, creating a broad upright profile.
