Tsuga mertensiana, also known as mountain hemlock, is a coniferous tree native to the west coast of North America. It can grow up to 40 meters tall and has a distinctive slender, conic shape. The leaves are needle-like and bluish-green in color, with stomata on both sides. The cones are small and pendulous, with thin scales. There are three subspecies of Tsuga mertensiana, with the northern mountain hemlock being the most common. This tree is well-adapted to cold, snowy environments and is often found in subalpine areas. It is used for lumber and is also grown as an ornamental tree in gardens.
