Eastern Hemlock

Latin Name : Tsuga canadensis

Generally grown in a ‘Forest’ situation, but also in large gardens, stately homes, that kind of setting, the Eastern Hemlock is a large and fast growing conifer with a very graceful habit. Its branches naturally spread.

Commonly used as a ‘Nursery’ crop when planting Beech, it is used to draw up the Beech to produce straight trunks for timber production.

Used often in Floristry as an accessory to show of a floral arrangement, the Western Hemlock actually makes an extremely graceful and impressive specimen tree, but you need the space to accommodate it.
