A cultivar of the Eastern Hemlock (Tsuga canadensis), this particular variety is distinguished by its striking golden foliage, particularly prominent in new growth. The plant offers a unique textural element within landscape designs. The coloration intensifies with sun exposure.
Its aesthetic value lies in its ability to provide year-round visual interest. The bright coloration contrasts beautifully with darker green foliage and provides a focal point in garden settings. Its moderate growth rate and relatively compact size make it suitable for smaller gardens and mixed borders. Furthermore, it offers similar ecological benefits to other hemlocks, providing shelter and habitat for various wildlife species.
