Tsuga canadensis

Die Kanadische Hemlocktanne ist eine schöne und robuste Nadelbaumart, die aus Nordamerika stammt. Sie wächst pyramidenförmig und symmetrisch, mit waagerechten bis überhängenden Ästen und kann eine Höhe von bis zu 20 Metern und eine Breite von bis zu acht Metern erreichen. An ihrem Naturstandort kann sie sogar bis zu 60 Meter hoch und über 800 Jahre alt werden. Die Borke ist von einer auffallend roten Farbe, die einen schönen Kontrast zu den Nadeln bildet. Tsuga canadensis ist sehr schattenverträglich und bevorzugt einen kühlen, feuchten und geschützten Standort, der vor kaltem Wind und Frost geschützt ist. Sie verträgt sowohl sonnige als auch halbschattige Lagen. Der Boden muss nährstoffreich, frisch bis feucht und durchlässig sein. Die Kanadische Hemlocktanne ist eine vielseitige Pflanze, die sowohl als Solitärbaum als auch in Gruppen oder Hecken gepflanzt werden kann.
