Canadian hemlock or eastern hemlock, is a dense, pyramidal conifer of the pine family that is native to moist woods, moist slopes, rocky hillsides/ridges, wooded ravines, and stream valleys from eastern Canada south to Maine and Wisconsin and further south in the Appalachian Mountains to Georgia and Alabama. Flat sprays of lacy evergreen foliage give this tree a graceful form.
Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils. Intolerant of drought and should be watered regularly in prolonged dry spells, particularly when plants are young.
Short, dark green needles.
Small 3/4" tan-brown cones.
