Part IV - Living Walls - Borders & Hedges: Yews and Hemlocks: Hi Marge! Do you have any suggestions for planting in that dark

» Cottage_Garden - Hi Marge! Do you have any suggestions for planting in that dark

Hi Marge! Do you have any suggestions for planting in that dark shade underneath old and scraggly hemlocks? These poor trees were planted years ago as a hedge. They were eventually left UNsheared and are now tall and bare at the base. They were planted to block the view from the road and no longer do the job! (This is on moist acid soil in zone 6. They are really healthy.) Thanks for pointing out that they won't sprout from old wood the way yews can! Barbara Martin
