*** About Eastern Hemlock Trees:

*** Eastern Hemlock, known scientifically as Tsuga canadensis, is a significant species within North American forestry. Found predominantly in the northeastern United States and Canada, these trees are notable for their longevity and the role they play in providing habitat and stability to forest ecosystems. Characterized by their deep green needles and conical shape, Eastern Hemlocks can grow up to 70 feet tall, often creating dense, shaded areas beneath their branches. These trees are also fundamental in maintaining forest hydrology and protecting soils from erosion. Despite their ecological benefits, they have been threatened by the woolly adelgid, a pest that has caused significant declines in their populations. Conservation efforts are critical to preserve these majestic trees for future generations.
