*** About Eastern Hemlock Trees: The Eastern Hemlock, known scientifically as Tsuga canadensis, is a vital part of North America's forest ecology. Native to eastern North America, these trees are easily identified by their conical shape and drooping branches. Eastern Hemlocks play a crucial role in forest ecosystems, providing habitat and food for wildlife, as well as modulating forest microclimates. Despite their importance, they are under threat from the invasive hemlock woolly adelgid, which has decimated populations in many areas. Conservation efforts are paramount to preserve these majestic trees, which can live for hundreds of years and grow up to 70 feet tall.
