Understanding Plant Options
Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:
- Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age
- Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements
Container Plant Sizes

Growing Zones
Weeping Canadian Hemlock (Tsuga canadensis 'Pendula') is a unique sculptural and fine-textured conifer with ornamental weeping and dense growth that sets this tree apart from anything else you'd normally see in the landscape! Soft green and soft to the touch needles, Hemlock forms flat fronds that create mounded clusters that cascade and tumble over each other as the tree grows.
The weeping effect and fine texture of these evergreens make them sculptural accents and striking focal points that boost curb appeal and draw attention to your home! Despite its diva look, Canadian Hemlock is a low-maintenance and easy-care tree that provides year-round interest. You'll also be enchanted by the tiny cones that form on your tree later in the growing season, like miniature pinecones. These are loved by birds for the seeds inside.
Canadian Hemlock is a hardy and cold-tolerant tree and native throughout a good portion of the northern half of the US. These specialized nativars of that hardy tree have all its perks and benefits, but with the weeping and contorted twist!
Planting and Application:
Weeping Canadian Hemlock is an obvious choice for high-profile specimen plantings and a head-turning focal point! Plant on a raised berm to highlight the weeping effect even further! Include near your water feature or a waterfall, a Zen or Asian-inspired garden, or a Rock garden! Plant at the end of a path leading to a destination or meditation garden. These are gorgeous fairytale trees!
Soften and anchor the corner of your home's foundation plantings with these unique trees, or plant one by your front door planting area to boost curb appeal! In the back yard, these trees look lovely among other weeping trees in a feature border of other contorted, dwarfed, or unique selections for a fantastic mixed-planting! These are naturally fire-wise defense landscaping trees, too!

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Canadian Hemlock trees are moderate growth-rate evergreens that will not tolerate open, exposed, or hot and humid weather that you find in the more southern states. Cool, moist, and slightly acidic soil is best. The right growing site will ensure your plant has the conditions it needs to thrive. Plant in organic, enriched, well-drained soil that has consistent, moderate moisture availability and a 3-4 inch thick layer of arborist mulch. Once planted, be sure to keep your Hemlock happy and growing well by adding additional water during the dry periods.
- Full Sun to Partial Shade
- Moderate Consistent Moisture
- Well-Drained Organically Enriched Soil
- Minimal Pruning Needed
- Moderate Growth Rate
The Weeping Hemlock will add the wow factor to your home's landscape in a big way! Order your fairytale trees and plants today at NatureHills.com and get your curb appeal delivered to your doorstep!
