Tsuga canadensis 'Cole's Prostrate' () 2019 photo - Common Name: Dwarf Canadian Hemlock, Size at 10 years: 6x4ft., Dark Green needles, USDA Hardiness Zone 4-7, In Garden Bed HR-M for 6.8 YEARS (HLG). Planted in 2013.

 

Missouri Botanical Garden: ‘Cole’s Prostrate’ is a slow-growing, dwarf prostrate form that is typically grown as a ground cover. It spreads flat on the ground usually exposing bare branches in the center over time. The silver-white branch bark contrasts well with the dark green needled foliage. Over the first 10 years, ‘Cole’s Prostrate’ will rise to as much as 1’ tall with a spread to 2-4’. Plants will edge down slopes, spread over flat ground, crawl over smaller rocks or creep over the edge of a wall.

 

Location: Michigan State University, Hidden Lake Gardens, Tipton, MI. Harper Collection of Rare & Dwarf Conifers. Looks like this one is a replacement for the one planted in 2009. It is provided extra deer protection over the winter months. The original conifer was labelled Tsuga canadensis 'Cole'
