Tsuga canadensis 'Pendula'

Sargent's Weeping Hemlock

Weeping Canadian hemlock (Tsuga canadensis ‘Pendula’) carries green evergreen foliage on cascading branches. Its densely clothed outer growth conceals an irregular framework that can become a distinctive garden focal point.

Staking and training strongly influence its size and shape. A supported leader creates height, while free-growing branches spread and trail, making the plant useful for either a weeping specimen or a broad ground-level feature.

Choose a cool, moist site with acidic, well-drained soil. Partial shade is helpful, especially where summers are warm. Water carefully during establishment and protect the root area from prolonged drying.
