Shrub Tsuga canadensis 'Jeddeloh' [Dwarf Canadian Hemlock] The Jeddeloh Canadian Hemlock is an interesting, mounded, dwarf cultivar that forms a cascade of weeping branches. Adaptable plant, tolerant of both shade and alkaline soils. Foliage browns in dry soil, drying wind, and winter sun in very exposed sites. Does not tolerate long periods of drought. Can be scorched by full sun and temperatures above 95 degrees F. Many minor pest problems, with wooly aldelgids being especially serious in the Northeast US.
Shrub Tsuga canadensis 'Jervis' [Dwarf Canadian Hemlock] 'Jervis' is a dense, compact, dwarf cultivar with an irregularly pyramidal form. Foliage browns in dry soil, drying wind, and winter sun in very exposed sites. Does not tolerate long periods of drought. Can be scorched by full sun and temperatures above 95 degrees F. Many minor pest problems, with wooly aldelgids being especially serious in the Northeast US.
Tree Tsuga caroliniana [Carolina Hemlock] Slower growth than Tsuga canadensis and less variable in size and form. Performs better under city conditions than T. canadensis. Still, like T. canadensis, foliage browns in dry soil, drying wind, and winter sun in very exposed sites, and it does not tolerate long periods of drought. Can be scorched by full sun and temperatures above 95 degrees F. Many different kinds of minor pest problems.

Shrub Viburnum burejaeticum [Manchurian Viburnum] The Manchurian Viburnum is an uncommon species similar to Viburnum lantana (Wayfaringtree). A very adaptable shrub with good flower production, fruit set, and fall color. Grows remarkably fast in the spring.
Shrub Viburnum × burkwoodii [Burkwood Viburnum] Trouble-free plant tolerant of soils and pollution (except sulfur). Also, does not tolerate more severe drought. Very fragrant when in bloom, although to a lesser degree than Viburnum carlesii (Koreanspice Viburnum). Bacterial spot and powdery mildew susceptibility (but not always a problem). Sulfur containing pesticides burn or defoliate leaves. Too thin to be a solid screen.
