Small shrub that often suckers to form thickets. It
grows well with small rhododendrons, dwarf conifers, heathers and
the like. Flat panicles of typical white rowan flowers are followed by
blush-pink berries. Before the glossy, serrated leaves drop in autumn,
they often turn red or purple. Our plants are from seeds from the
UBC Botanical Garden. Award of Garden
Merit (Royal Horticultural Society).

TSUGA HEMLOCK
Note to customers outside British
Columbia. September 2006: New regulations will soon govern
shipment of Tsuga species within Canada and the United States. Once
the rules are in place, we will ship only inside BC. The regulations are
meant to limit the spread of an insect, Hemlock woody adelgid (Adelges tsugae).
Our trees don't have this pest, but we can't afford the monitoring
and paperwork that would enable us to ship these trees outside BC.
