Abstract: An adjustable arbor-like umbrella construction is provided by which the umbrella may be adapted to a variety of locations and supports real and/or artificial plants or tree branches in order to provide shade in an aesthetically pleasing manner. In an exemplary embodiment, the umbrella of the present invention includes a center pole, a central hub support atop the pole, and a plurality of lattice assemblies radiating from the support hub and being rotatably attached thereto. Each of the lattice assemblies is formed of a plurality of slats pivotally connected to one another. Since each lattice assembly may be rotated with respect to the support hub and each slat of each lattice assembly may be pivoted with respect to an adjacent slat, the umbrella can be arranged in not only a variety of circular shapes of varying diameter, but also in a multiple of non-circular shapes to accommodate its use, for example, up against a wall, around a corner, in a corner, or to suit a particular taste.
