Tsuga c. 'Forest Fountain' #3

Forest Fountain Hemlock
Tsuga canadensis ‘Forest Fountain’

A sculptural twist on classic Canadian hemlock, ‘Forest Fountain’ forms a small pyramidal evergreen with deep green needles and gracefully upward‑arching branches that give it a fountain‑like silhouette. Slow but steady in growth, this selection brings refined structure and soft texture to borders, foundation plantings, and woodland gardens. It prefers moist, well‑drained soils and a site in full sun to part shade, and is low‑maintenance once established. Like most hemlocks, its foliage is generally unappealing to deer.
