These cones contain the future of our hemlocks, tiny winged seeds full of potential. Eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) is a tree of old forests, where centuries of leaf litter have prepared the rich, cool soils it prefers. When the shade cast by other trees grows too dense for their own progeny to survive, hemlock moves in. Achingly slow yet steady in growth, it eventually towers over its neighbors until only beech can compete. Hemlocks grow best on slopes, taking the brunt of rain and snow storms, their roots clutching rock and boulder in viselike grip. Truly a miracle that this promise resides in such a small vessel as these cones. —Director of Horticulture Uli Lorimer
