Carolina Hemlock — Tsuga caroliniana 

For sheer graceful beauty, we do not believe its equal can be 
found among all the coniferous evergreens. It was introduced to 
cultivation by Harlan P. Kelsey, and Prof. Sargent of the Arnold 
Arboretum considered the Carolina Hemlock “the handsomest 
conifer we can grow in New England.” It is unique in habit, with 
dark, dense tufted foliage on sweeping pendulous branches. 
Hardier and more adapted to trying city atmospheres than the 
Canada Hemlock, it also seems to thrive in southern latitudes 
where the latter becomes thin, yellow and unsightly.
