Canadian Hemlock

Hello friends!

We wanted to share some information about trees on our farm. Our spotlight today will go over Canadian Hemlocks. Canadian hemlock (Tsuga canadensis), also called eastern hemlock, is a member of the pine family and native to North America. You’ll see the trees in the wild growing on woody slopes, rocky ridges, and river valleys. They have a slow to medium growth rate of up to 24 inches a year, maturing to 50 to 70 feet tall and 25 feet wide. According to Canadian hemlock tree facts, the roots are not likely to invade pipes or raise sidewalks. If you are hesitant to plant this tree because you know hemlock is poisonous, stop worrying. No part of the Canadian hemlock is poisonous.
