This popular form of Canadian Hemlock is widely known and used, especially when it is staked and trained to develop height and character. Pendulous branches form a thick exterior "shell" of foliage that covers the plant's interior structural scaffold. Garden size varies, depending on how high you stake it, but it is typically staked to 6-8' tall, after which it will weep down to the ground and spread that much, as well. Best in some part shade. Hardy to Zone 4.
