Tsuga chinensis
Chinese Hemlock
Chinese Hemlock (Tsuga chinensis) develops a large pyramidal evergreen framework. Fresh light green foliage gives the crown a lighter appearance than that of many dark-needled hemlocks.
Small reddish brown buds provide a closer-view detail among the needles. Plan for a tree that continues growing beyond its ten-year estimate, with room for the lower crown to broaden naturally.
Grow in sun or partial shade. Choose soil that drains freely and water during establishment.
