Tsuga are evergreen conifers that typically exhibit a broadly conical shape, characterized by a leading shoot that droops downward. Their linear leaves are distinctive for their white undersides, and they produce small ovoid cones.

Tsuga

Tsuga canadensis, commonly known as eastern hemlock, is a robust evergreen tree that can reach heights of up to 25 meters. It features deeply ridged, purplish-grey bark and short, dark green needles that are white on their undersides. These needle-like leaves are arranged in two rows along slender branches, creating flat sprays of foliage. In autumn, the tree produces ovoid brown cones that measure approximately 2 centimeters in length.
