Tsuga canadensis -The PlantTsuga canadensis (L.) Carr.Eastern Hemlock Pinaceae Pine familyR. M. Godman and Kenneth LancasterEastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis), also called Canada hemlock or hemlock spruce, is a slowgrowing longlived tree which unlike many trees grows well in shade. It may take 250 to 300 years to reach maturity and may live for 800 years or more. A tree measuring 193 cm (76 in) in d.b.h. and 53.3 m (175 ft) tall is among the largestrecorded. Hemlock bark was once the source of tannin for the leather industry; now the wood is important to the pulp and paper industry. Many species of wildlife benefit from the excellent habitat that a dense stand of hemlock provides. This tree also ranks high for ornamental planting. HabitatNative Range The northern limit of eastern hemlock extends from outliers innortheastern Minnesota and the western onethird of Wisconsin eastward through northern Michigan, southcentral Ontario, extreme southern Quebec, through New Brunswick, and all of Nova Scotia. Within the United States the species is found throughout New England, New York, Pennsylvania, and the middle Atlantic States,extending westward from central New Jersey to the Appalachian Mountains, then southward into northern Georgia and Alabama. Outliers also appear in extreme southern Michigan and western Ohio, with scattered islands in southern Indiana and east of the Appalachians in the middle Atlantic States.
