New Mountain Hemlock 1

This Hemlock is approx. 250 yrs old, and has enormous potential. It was collected 3 years ago. Now it will receive some pruning and wiring over the winter months, and will perhaps be planted on a stone slab in early spring.

New Mountain Hemlock 2


This tree is around 175 yrs old, and was collected in the mountains on the north of Vancouver island 3 years ago. It has excellent taper, shape, foliage health and has loads of potential. I think it will be ready for styling in spring/summer 2011.
