Zone IV. Of all our native evergreens, 
the Canadian hemlock is the most ma- 
jestic. As a tree it forms a noble pyra- 
mid of 75 feet or more with graceful 
branches and lacy foliage. Or it can be 
sheared to form compact landscape 
plants of any desired height from 4 feet 
up. Makes a luxuriant sheared hedge if 
given ample width at base. Sun or shade, 
nearly any soil, but avoid windswept 
locations, especially in dry climates.
