Canadian Hemlock

Canadian Hemlock is an evergreen tree with small needles that is unique for its ability to grow well in shady locations. It will grow best in cooler areas and it is hardy from zone 3 to zone 7. It has soft, attractive dark-green needles and it clips well to form beautiful hedges in shady areas of the garden. It is tolerant of most soils and will grow well in damp areas as well as normal garden conditions. It will grow in time into a tall tree that can be 70 feet tall and 30 feet wide, but it also makes long-lived, durable hedge at any height from 3 to 20 feet. It can also be used as a boundary marker in a wooded area of your property or as an evergreen privacy screen.
