Tsuga canadensis 'Cole's Prostrate'

Cole's Prostrate' is a spreading variety with stiff, weeping branches. Will grow 12 inches tall and 4' wide at full maturity. Gnarly, interior branches expose the plant's silvery bark that contrasts against its rich, green needles. Needs protection from hot, afternoon sun and can handle a full-shade environment.

Tsuga canadensis 'Hebefolia'

This dwarf variety will slowly reach 2-3' tall and 1-2' wide. The foliage is the highlight of this plant, with rounded, tight needles that grow close to the bark, giving the plant an open growth habit. Silvery, exposed bark accents the tiny, green needles.
