Dunno of a prostrate Hemlock....have a weeping one; one of the slower
growing creatures in this world, but quite nice after many years.  What
about Microbiota decussata?  I've not grown this, but have thought about it
since it's one of the few needled evergreens said to like shade.  Anybody
grown this one?
