Tsuga heterophylla 5 seed "Western hemlock" RARE

Tsuga heterophylla

A graceful and evergreen tree growing at a fast rate.

Evergreen tree with a straight trunk, down-swept branches and open, pyramidal crown with a nodding tip.

Foliage color ranges from light green/yellow on new growth to dark green on older growth. Tsuga species feature flattened, usually linear leaves, similar to that of Yews, with silvery white bands beneath.

The needles provide a flat branch pattern, lending itself to bonsai design. 

Tsugas are typically tall, graceful trees with spreading branches that droop downwards at the tips creating a cascading effect. 

The twigs are yellow-brown, flexible, and minutely pubescent.

Young bark is thin, superficially scaly, and brown to black.

 On mature trees bark is dark brown to reddish-brown, becoming thick and strongly grooved with age. The bark becomes deeply furrowed with age. Inner bark is dark red streaked with purple.
