Why is it good for my garden? Mountain hemlock is a fantastic specimen tree, slowest growing evergreen. This tree can be used for a container plant. At elevation can be stunted or contorted because of all the snow on the branches. This tree is used by wildlife for food and habitat. The Hairy Woodpecker forages on the branches of these beautiful trees.
