1. Will grow to 40- 60 feet in the east. It is native to the western
U. S. where it is an important tree in the timber industry. It
grows extremely rapidly in its native habitat but more slowly on
the east coast
2.
Easily detected by the white, cottony egg masses, hemlock woolly
adelgid infestations usually kill Canadian or Carolina
hemlocks within three to five years of infestation
3. Western hemlock was commonly
employed medicinally by several native North
American Indian tribes who used it to treat a variety
of complaints (Moerman 1998).
4.
Western hemlock stands provide cover and
habitat for many wildlife species and small
mammals. It is also used for nest trees by cavity
nesting birds.
5.
Weter Hemlock is also known as Pacific Hemlock.
