Daniels Nursery lists Canadian Hemlock under “The Hemlocks” as an ornamental evergreen, not a fruit cultivar. The catalog calls it “the hardiest of our Hemlocks” and recommends it for shaded sites where many evergreens fail. [S1]
Daniels describes it as upright and graceful. In this source, its main value is landscape use, especially for a difficult northeast shaded corner. [S1]
The source does not give a botanical species name, parentage, breeder, release history, fruit description, or edible use. Its hardiness is relative to the nursery’s other hemlocks. The entry says it was the hardiest hemlock they sold, but also says it needed winter protection in exposed places. [S1]
For Pomologica, this record should be treated as an ornamental nursery listing with limited relevance to edible fruit documentation unless later sources connect it to fruiting or ethnobotanical use. [S1]
