Tsuga canadensis - Eastern hemlock

Feed Tsuga canadensis : Let’s avoid fertilizing trees too often; we can enrich the soil with organic fertilizer when planting, then we’ll act again every 2-3 years, in autumn or at the end of the winter.

continental : Let's avoid exposing the the Tsuga canadensis to direct solar rays, growing it in a shady spot.
These plants can be located in the garden during the whole year; they can stand minimum temperatures many degrees below zero.

alpine : Plant which favours shady places, avoid exposure to direct sunrays.
Autumn climate usually isn’t very harsh, in any case these plants can even bear very prolonged freezing, therefore they can be grown in the garden during any season.

mediterranean : Let's avoid to expose the the Tsuga canadensis to direct sunrays, finding it a shady spot.
These plants can stand the cold and can also stand very harsh minimum temperatures.

continental : Water regularly, every 2-3 weeks with 2-3 buckets of water, wetting the ground deeply, but waiting for the substratum to dry completely between an irrigation and another one; avoid stagnant water.

alpine : When the ground is thoroughly dry, we should water regularly but without exceeding, usually using 1-2 buckets of water. Keeping the dampness of the ground under control let’s water every 3-4 weeks.

mediterranean : The Tsuga canadensis doesn’t request too much watering; we should act with 3-4 buckets of water only when the soil is very dry, every 1-2 weeks, avoiding immoderation.

Adversity Tsuga canadensis : When the climate is still not too harsh we should apply a wide range fungal treatment, vaporizing the fungicide even on the soil on the feet of the plants. Let’s remember to collect and destroy the leaves of the plants affected by black spot disease or by leaf curl disease.
