US National Arboretum Picture of the Week Answer

Answer to the Front Page "Picture of the Week" Question
for June 26th - July 3rd, 2003

Picture of an immature cone of hemlock, Tsuga canadensis

This is an immature cone of our native hemlock, Tsuga canadensis.
Hemlocks have been decimated in many areas by a foreign pest, the hemlock woolly adelgid.
They are still good trees for the landscape, particularly in conditions of light shade and moist soil.
Many lovely dwarf cultivars are available for smaller gardens, many of which can be seen in
the Gotelli Dwarf and Slow Growing Conifer Collection.
