Nursery contributed plant descriptions

I've seen this cultivar listed as 'Lewis,' 'Lewisi,' 'Lewisii,' and even 'Lewis Eye.' Whatever name you choose to call it, it is a truly beautiful conifer with its dark-green foliage and opened branched structure.
DWARF. A rare, choice small hemlock, the plant grows a scant 1-3" a year, forming a very irregular pyramid.
