I put Vtree on the smartphone and used it to sort of figure out that this is a Hemlock. I would like verification from someone with more knowledge than I....please and thank you.
Yes, that is a hemlock. There is only one Hemlock in the east, which is called Eastern Hemlock. If I recall you're in Michigan, so it is Eastern Hemlock. The small cone and soft, not pointy, needles are a give away. The bark and general shape of your tree also are very typical of hemlock.
I'm NOT any expert of any type on tree's, so take this with 1/4 o a grain of salt. But I would not think that was a hemlock. The Hemlock around my area (on LI) looks much different. But I'd listen to others before me....
Looks like hemlock to me. I have tons of it here. I dread when that hemlock disease spreads up here. Not far from me now.
Yes, hemlock. Another hemlock trait that makes them easy to id is that that the very tip droops over a bit. It does not stand straight up. That is if you can see the top.
cones, bark and growth looks like hemlock - can't quite make out the needles have had wooly adelgid in two wind breaks of hemlock. spread a ( bonide ? ) chemical on the ground near them to get into the roots and a year later every single one is gone The trees in the wild seem to be free of them now too though so I don't know exactly for sure why they are gone They were quite heavily infested too.
