Tsuga mertensiana 'Glacier Peak'

Common Name: Glacier Peak Mountain Hemlock

Tsuga mertensiana ‘Glacier Peak’ is the choice for gardeners who want a garden sized tree with an alpine appearance. The short, blue-green needles have a silvery cast and grow all around the stems giving a tufty appearance. ‘Glacier Peak’ provides a consistent upright tree form while still keeping the irregular rugged look of the mertensiana seedlings. Thrives in highly organic, moist, well-drained soil and tolerates partial shade. (Iseli Nursery)
