Tsuga canadensis ‘Pendula’

Sargent Weeping Hemlock
PINACEAE, The Pine family

This slow growing conifer reaches 6 feet tall and spreads much wider, with drooping branches and soft needles. I think it is one of those that needs annual thinning to prevent it from becoming Cousin It or looking like a haystack. We got a lot of these in at work and I think they are interesting, but am not sure quite what to do with them.
