Tree Talk: Eastern Hemlock

Let's spend some time this Tree Talk with eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis), a slow-growing, long-living wonder of the Appalachians and Great Lakes region. The most shade-tolerant tree species in eastern forests, hemlock can become a climax canopy tree in forests with suitable soils, though we have almost no old-growth forests left in the east for the mighty hemlock to dominate. Eastern hemlock was industrially important as a source of tannins at the turn of the 19th century, though its lumber has never been of very high value. Hemlock is the state tree of Pennsylvania, and deserves that status; it is ecologically valuable and a symbol of life spent in the shade. Want more goods from the woods?
