Sciadopitys (Greek, skias, skiados, umbrella, and pitys, spruce, alluding to the position of the leaves). Pinaceae. Umbrella Pine. Ornamental tree grown for its handsome foliage and regular pyramidal habit.

| high = ?  <!--- 1m (3 ft) -->

 

Evergreen resinous tree: lvs. of two kinds; small and scale-like lvs. scattered on the shoot, but crowded at its end and bearing in their axils a whorl of 20-30 long linear flat lvs. furrowed on each side, more deeply beneath; these lvs. really consist each of 2 connate lvs. borne on undeveloped spurs like those of Pinus; they have been sometimes called cladodes, but are not true cladodes: fls. monoecious; the staminate oval, consisting of spirally disposed 2-celled anthers and appearing in dense clusters at the ends of the shoots; the pistillate are solitary at the ends of the shoots and consist of numerous spirally arranged scales subtended by a small bract and bearing 7-9 ovules: cone oblong-ovate, woody, the bracts connate, with the broadly orbicular thick scales spreading at the margin; seeds oval, compressed, with narrow wing, emarginate at the apex.— One species in Japan, with very strong and straight-grained, nearly white wood.

The umbrella pine is a very handsome tree of narrow pyramidal habit, with linear rather large, needle-like dark green and lustrous leaves in whorls and oval cones 3 to 4 inches long. It is hardy as far north as Portland, Maine, and is of rather slow growth. It thrives well in a moderately and constantly moist, loamy, and also in clayey soil; in dry soil or in soil which periodically becomes dry, it grows poorly. Propagation is by seeds and layers, and sparingly by cuttings of half-ripened wood in summer; but seedlings are to be preferred, as they grow more symmetrically and more vigorously.{{SCH}}
