You just want to make sure it's located and planted properly. In its natural habitat, it is native to moist woods, moist slopes, rocky hillsides and ridges, wooded ravines, and stream valleys from eastern Canada south to Maine and Wisconsin and further south in the Appalachian Mountains to Georgia and Alabama. It thrives in shade to part shade (avoid direct afternoon sun) and consistently moist but well-drained soils of average fertility. It has a dense pyramidal form with gracefully drooping branches and stems clothed in short dark-green needles arranged in two rows. The tree can reach heights of 40 to 70 feet and widths of 25 to 35 feet, but are most often seen in home landscapes at the lower ranges in size, with lower branches drooping to the ground. Thick and ridged bark on mature trees is red-brown to gray-brown. An excellent evergreen focal point specimen for shade gardens and woodland gardens.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLandscape \u0026amp; Garden Uses\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eGrowing 40 to 70 feet tall and 20 to 30 feet wide, most often at the lower ranges in the home landscape, the Eastern Hemlock is ideal for use as a focal point specimen, in groupings or in staggered and\/or curved rows in privacy screens. Straight rows just don't do this natural beauty justice. A fine addition to shady woodland gardens, rock gardens, native gardens, Asian themed gardens, and conifer gardens.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrowing Preferences\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe Eastern Hemlock is easy to grow in most any acidic, moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and part shade to full shade. It will handle the morning and evening sun but appreciates some shade or filtered sun during the afternoon hours. Constantly soggy soil or standing water is problematic, so plant in a well-drained site and avoid overwatering. Established trees have moderate drought tolerance but will appreciate supplemental water during extended periods of summer drought. Maintenance is minimal as this is not a tree you want to prune or shear! No pruning is required though damaged branches can and should be removed if and when they appear. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHelpful Articles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow To Plant \u0026amp; Care For Canadian Hemlocks\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlant Long \u0026amp; Prosper!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eQuestions?\u003c\/span\u003e  \u003cspan\u003eContact Us\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48144330588314,"sku":"D2LSC 746622549","price":31.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0751\/3263\/3242\/files\/tsuga-canadensis-eastern-canadian-hemlock-10_53b0fe9b-8739-46e3-b0c1-c2477c703455.jpg?v=1779926615","url":"https:\/\/plant.hcgardenus.com\/products\/eastern-canadian-hemlock-tsuga-canadensis-1-gallon-pot","provider":"Royal Horticultural Society","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
