Minikin Japanese Hemlock - Tsuga diversifolia 'Minikin'

The Minikin Japanese Hemlock is a fun tree for the miniature garden simply because it's already a "miniature tree!" The tiny foliage is the perfect scale, perched just so on the wee branches. It's just too cute. 

Slow growing and globe-shaped when young, it'll become more oval shaped when it's grown up - but that'll take years. Meanwhile, we can enjoy it in our miniature gardens in cool sun or part shade - in containers or in-ground. 

• Growth rate is 3" to 6" per year
• Cold hardy Zones: 4-8 or -30F
• Heat zones: 8-1

• Part sun to bright shade
• Regular water if in a pot, likes to stay a little damp
• Do not let it dry out
• Fertilize after 2 years if planted in a container
  
  
• An outdoor plant
