-Tsuga canadensis
  • The Eastern Hemlock is commonly known as the Canadian hemlock. They are in the pine family and are one of the most common conifers growing in Eastern North America.
  • The Eastern Hemlock is in a triangle-type shape, are very slow growing trees, and can reach to a height of 80 feet or more.
  • The leaves are small and needle-like, similar to most conifers. They have darker green shades on the top and a lighter green on the bottom of the needles.
  • Fun fact! The bark, which is a reddish brown color, of the Eastern Hemlock has a tannin content of approximately 10-12% and was used to tan sheepskins and other leathers during the late nineteenth century for use in shoe making (according to the U.S Forestry Department).

Known as the Black Locust, these deciduous trees are mostly seen in the Southeastern region of the United States as well as the lower slopes of the Appalachian Mountains.  they belong to the same family as peas, which is referred to as the Fabaceae family.  This tree is usually seen to grow up to 30 to 50 feet in height, and are also known to grow very rapidly.  Additionally, they are known to not live as long as other trees and tend to not grow very well in the shade. 


The Black Locust's low hanging branches grow pods that are toxic.  They also see the growth of bright white flowers in the spring that produce a delicious honey which are sought after by the bee population.  The leaves of the Black Locust change color from white to yellow during the summer.

The tree has also been used for chemical pulping in the paper industry. Its honey is collected for trade and consumption, and its leaves are used in Korea and Bulgaria for livestock feed. Finally, its wood has a high heat content which makes it very useful for building fires. ]]> 2017-12-05 03:48:47 UTC https://padlet.com/maryruthgriffin/i0rd1week3p4/wish/213143258 Flowers https://padlet.com/maryruthgriffin/i0rd1week3p4/wish/213143776 2017-12-05 03:53:32 UTC https://padlet.com/maryruthgriffin/i0rd1week3p4/wish/213143776 Pods https://padlet.com/maryruthgriffin/i0rd1week3p4/wish/213143842 2017-12-05 03:54:12 UTC https://padlet.com/maryruthgriffin/i0rd1week3p4/wish/213143842 Branch Patterns https://padlet.com/maryruthgriffin/i0rd1week3p4/wish/213143913 2017-12-05 03:54:40 UTC https://padlet.com/maryruthgriffin/i0rd1week3p4/wish/213143913 Thorns https://padlet.com/maryruthgriffin/i0rd1week3p4/wish/213143973 2017-12-05 03:55:15 UTC https://padlet.com/maryruthgriffin/i0rd1week3p4/wish/213143973 Leaves https://padlet.com/maryruthgriffin/i0rd1week3p4/wish/213144166 2017-12-05 03:56:50 UTC https://padlet.com/maryruthgriffin/i0rd1week3p4/wish/213144166
