Tanyosho Pine (Pinus densiflora 'Umbraculifera') is a dwarf Japanese red pine prized for its picturesque shape and striking reddish-orange bark that peels with age. It grows in a broad, rounded form with multiple trunks and dense clusters of medium-length green needles. Slow-growing and naturally sculptural, Tanyosho Pine adds an artistic feel to the landscape—often used as a focal point in Asian-inspired gardens, rock gardens, or near entries. It performs best in full sun and well-drained soil, and its tolerance to wind and cold makes it a reliable choice in varied climates.
