Tsuga canadensis 'Popeleski' / Popeleski Canadian hemlock

Tsuga canadensis 'Popeleski' is a dwarf, low-spreading selection of Canadian hemlock with irregular, dense branching and congested, tiny, dark-green foliage. After 10 years of growth, a mature specimen will measure 12 inches (30 cm) tall and 20 inches (50 cm) wide, an annual growth rate of around 1 inch (2.5 cm).

This cultivar originated as a seedling selected by Joseph Popeleski of Greenlawn, Long Island, New York who later gave the plant to Joe Cesarini of Sayville, Long Island, New York.
