This was one of my first trees. It was in a pot for about 6 years, but fell into bad health from my too warm winter storage. It was put back in the ground for about 15 years. It was kept chased back by hedging. I pulled it this year because I was tired pruning it. The project is bigger than I want to attack and heavier than I want to pick up. It's 37 inches from ground level now, but could be shortened a bit. It was very healthy with a great root system when collected and is getting ready to break bud. It would need to be picked up here. PM me if your interested.

This tree has excellent potential for an Eastern Hemlock. There is a very natural tree form hidden in there. The rarity of good T. canadensis material and the bark development makes it more valuable.

I love this species (been working on one for like nine years) but material is hard to find. They are one of the most delicate looking conifers I can think of. Only thing I hate about them is the damn branches are so weak in the crotches which makes bending very touchy.

That being said, if I was in your area I'd make an offer. Best of luck!

They are one of my favorites. I've overcome the branch thing by partially cutting through the bottom of the branch and remove a small wedge. The cadmium back is put back together when the branch is wired in place. If done correctly it knits together in one growing season. These thing heal extraordinarily fast.
