Re: tsuga

Actually, I've been thinking of trying a (much) smaller specimen on the theory that the younger the plant, the more adaptable it might be. (Assuming I successfully dodge the plant protection police.) This worked quite well with my Metasequoia.

Hum.. one of the first things I planted here, so it has been in sun all

grow faster. Should not have been so cheap and bought the bigger one. :)

Cathy,
I have read that Eastern Hemlock can be tempermental and that it
requires some shade, but I thought that since you and I are in similar
climate, they'd be easy for you. Mine have been planted in amended clay
soil and mulched. However, the ones on the Extension Office Grounds are
planted in heavy clay, no protection, and seem to do just fine, too.
