Tsuga species

hemlock

Trees and Shrubs, Bonsai

Grow from seed surface sown immediately when ripe in fall, or after stratifying indoors for 3 months, onto well-drained soil. Suited to shallow and rocky soils. Grows in full sun, though may need some protection from scorching; mature plants may grow in fairly heavy shade. Named cultivars are best grafted in late summer, or during dormant period, or grown from semi-ripe cuttings; use strong rooting hormone. Hardy zone 4-8; Sargent's weeping hemlock, Tsuga canadensis pendula, is hardy throughout this range
