Canadian Hemlock (Tsuga Canadensis)

Beautiful little Hemlock I've had for a year now. It's promising I just don't know what can be done with it yet. These little conifers do not back bud unless they are ancient trees. These hemlock's love the shade with indirect sunlight. I found this plant growing a long tap root about 2.5 feet deep with some root around the trunk.

The tree was growing from a composted  stump.
