Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A dwarf variety of the Eastern Hemlock (also commonly called as the Canadian Hemlock) that typically grows to three or four feet tall in ten years. It is a popular variety for bonsai due to its shorter leaves and low, dense branching habit and is also found in many landscapes where its small evergreen stature has year-round appeal.
