Tsuga canadensis Humphrey Welch

Humphrey Welch Hemlock

Humphrey Welch Canadian Hemlock (Tsuga canadensis ‘Humphrey Welch’) carries tiny gray-green needles on slender branches. The fine texture gives this dwarf upright selection a delicate appearance without requiring a large amount of garden space.

Place it where its small needles and branching can be seen closely. Its individual structure makes it useful in a conifer collection, with neighboring plants kept far enough away to preserve the outline.

Grow in sun or partial shade. Choose soil that drains freely and water during establishment.
