Tsuga canadensis 'Geneva'

[b3bowen]

Would love to see more Eastern hemlock being grown. I grew up right before woolly adelgid killed off many of the old growth hemlocks in my area, so I have always loved the species. I have worked on a few collected ones but they were so gangly that they were never very impressive. That being said, there are numerous cultivars (many dwarfs) and many can be/are grown from cuttings eliminating the graft issue. Here is one I’m excited about. Tsuga canadensis 'Geneva' it is a dwarf with very rich, neat, and dark green foliage. It is cutting grown and this year was first repotting so it still has about 50 nursery soil in the root ball.

Eastern hemlock top

Hello all. This is my first post to any forum. I've had this eastern hemlock about 20 years. For the last 15 years I didn't have a lot of time to play with my collection, so many of my trees got out of hand. This hemlock, among other thing, needs its top to be shorter. The taper is a bit too...
