Tsuga canadensis 'Pendula' Tsuga canadensis 'Pendula'

Slow-growing conifer with broad, pendulous branches that grow in various directions. The main trunk must be trained vertically to attain a vertical growth pattern. Height can then reach 3 - 4 m. Branches sometimes grow upwards at first and later to the side or hanging down. Young twigs however always grow straight down, creating a decorative tree that can ultimately grow to a width of about 5 m. If the plant is not trained upwards first during the cultivation stage, a creeping pattern develops. This makes the plant suitable for rock gardens and growing over walls. The top of the needles is glossy green, the bottom has 2 white stoma stripes. Short-stemmed, hanging cones appear after the unremarkable flowering. If the soil is overly calcareous, the needles turn yellow.
