Tsuga canadensis ‘Jeddeloh’

Tsuga canadensis ‘Jeddeloh’
Common name
Eastern Hemlock 'Jeddeloh'
Type
Coniferous
Family
Pinaceae

Tsuga canadensis ‘Jeddeloh’ is a dwarf evergreen conifer with a bushy, rounded, and spreading habit, perfect for shady gardens, rockeries, or small beds. This compact form of Canadian hemlock is distinguished by its slow growth, soft dark green needles, and natural central depression, giving it a bowl- or nest-like appearance. Highly decorative as a specimen or in groups, it prefers a shaded to partially shaded exposure, cool, slightly acidic, well-drained soil, and protection from drying winds. Its high deer resistance, low maintenance, and refined texture make it an excellent choice for structuring shaded areas throughout the year.
