Tsuga canadensis 'Pendula'
Weeping or Sargent's Hemlock
Description
The dark green needles of this Tsuga are 1/2" long and are aranged paired and opposite, with a white band beneath. Its outer branchlets drop gracefully, and oval cones are produced from short stalks. On the older trees, the bark is deeply furrowed. Once the conifer has shed its seeds in autumn, the cones will remain.

Water Saving Tip:
Apply a layer of mulch around plants to reduce moisture loss.
Organic mulches, such as shredded bark, compost or aged sawdust will also break down and improve the soil.
