Umbrella pine
Pinus pinea
Umbrella pine develops its distinctive flat-topped canopy as it matures and produces edible pine nuts. It requires well-draining soil and full sun, with deep but infrequent watering once established. This Mediterranean tree is drought tolerant but needs space to reach its full majestic size.
