Introducing the Tsuga mertensiana Mountain Hemlock, a beautiful and resilient evergreen coniferous tree native to the west coast of North America. With its slender conic shape and slightly pendulous branchlet tips, this tree adds beauty to any mountain landscape. It grows best in cold, snowy subalpine sites and can live for over 800 years. While its moderately strong, light-colored wood is ideal for small-dimension lumber and pulp, it is also widely used as an ornamental tree due to its tolerance for warm and damp environments. This tree is adaptable to a wide variety of climatic conditions and thrives in USDA hardiness zone 5. Choose the Tsuga mertensiana Mountain Hemlock to add beauty and resilience to your landscape.
