Eastern Hemlock

Eastern Hemlocks (Tsuga canadensis) are immaculate species that can grow to be 100 feet tall. This tree is a must-see with its large size and feathery branches. Being one of my favorites on the property, this hemlock is located right before the entrance of the walking trail.

Eastern Hemlocks are a pyramidal tree that have dark-green needles with silvery undersides. They grow best in part shade and shade, much like the other species located within the woods of this trail. This species of hemlock also prefers rocky, cool, moist, acidic soils. While being pH adaptable, they tend to grow best in acidity.
