This is a unique and rare tree that grows very slowly. 

While it can grow up to 30 meters in the forest, when grown in a pot or small garden, it will stay within 2 meters even after several decades.

Also known as the Umbrella Pine it forms a neat, pyramidal shape with symmetrical and horizontal branches, adding to its visual appeal. 

It has fibrous red-brown bark and leathery, glossy-green leaves in whorls.

It prefers moist soils and should be protected from severe frosts when young. 

This lovely tree is evergreen and native to Japan.
