Canadian Hemlock Trees
Friday January 9, 2009
Slow-growing and long-lived, Canadian hemlock trees 
in the wild may reach 80 feet tall or higher. But don't let that scare you off: there are many shorter, more compact cultivars of Canadian hemlock trees that have been developed for landscape usage. These shrub-form hemlocks make for some of the finest hedges I've ever seen.

Being a Canadian i’m some what biased,but it’s one of my favourites.I didn’t know about all of the cultivars…thanks for the info.
Hi David,
Those majestic hemlocks would surely die in my warm area. It’s too bad, they are beautiful. I enjoyed seeing them on a family road trip through west coast and up to Canada.
Thanks for the insight.

Thanks for posting, Shirley and Scotty. Shirley, in parts of New England, hemlocks are frequently encountered in the wild. Walking in the woods, I’ll sometimes come across stretches where hemlocks are the dominant tree.
