Tsuga canadensis - Eastern hemlock

continental : These plants don't like direct solar rays, which could ruin their foliage; we therefore advise to locate them in the shade.
These plants are grown in the garden year round because they are rustic.

These plants can stand the cold weather, they can be grown as garden plants during the whole year.

continental : Water regularly, every 2-3 weeks, wetting the soil deep down, but waiting for the substratum to dry completely between a watering and the other; avoid leaving stagnant water. Usually 4-5 buckets of water are used.

alpine : We suggest regular watering with 3-4 buckets of water about every 3-4 weeks, waiting for the soil to dry between one time and the other.

mediterranean : Every 1-2 weeks we should intervene with water, irrigating the soil only if it is dry; we suggest avoiding water stagnations by using 5-6 buckets of water.

Feed Tsuga canadensis : In this period of the year it isn’t necessary to fertilize trees; if we intend planting new trees, let’s enrich the soil with organic fertilizer.

Adversity Tsuga canadensis : Summer treatments should be applied only in cases of displayed infesting; a dry climate favours the development of ticks and rust. During this period of the year, since there are many useful insects in the garden, it is advisable to avoid using wide-range products, favouring the use of specific products against each type of parasite. Let’s apply the treatments during early morning or evening hours.
