Tsuga canadensis 'Pendula' / weeping Canadian Hemlock
Tsuga candensis 'Pendula' is a very graceful, weeping form of Canadian hemlock with good green coloration in the foliage. Well-grown specimens do not create a leader, but will spread out horizontally. Many derivations of this form are available in the nursery trade and no one specific form can be clearly identified from any population.
