Description
Description

The Eastern Hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) is native to eastern North America and is the state tree of Pennsylvania. It is also called the Canadian hemlock or the eastern hemlock-spruce. The plant has a long lifespan and is tolerant to shade. It has a brownish and deeply fissured bark and broadly conic crown. The Eastern Hemlock prefers high altitude but humid and cool conditions on a hillside, ravine, rocky ridges, and soil with a lot of moisture. It has short, flat, blunt, flexible dark green to pale silver needles, shallow roots making it vulnerable to drought and strong winds. The tree is monoecious, and its bark is used for making drugs.
