A large grouping of needled evergreens, including pines, spruces, true cedars, false cypress, and hemlocks is clustered near the edge of the cultivated grounds and is known as the Pinetum. Among the more magnificent specimens are the Japanese Umbrella Pines (Sciadopitys verticillata) with needles that diverge around the stem giving it an “umbrella” effect.
