Canadian Hemlock Tsuga Canadensis 3 Gal

When you are thinking about planting a Canadian hemlock tree, it’s important to make sure you live in a region where the species can thrive. In general, this species does well in cooler to cold climates and thrives in USDA plant hardiness zones 3 through 7. If you are planting a Canadian hemlock tree, look for a site that offers some shade. The trees prefer partial shade, especially in areas with hot summers, but do require daily direct sun. If your region gets strong winds, pick a planting spot with wind protection. To offer the best Canadian hemlock care, plant your tree in well-drained loam or sand. The soil should be acidic rather than alkaline.
