State Trees Series: Pennsylvania, Eastern Hemlock

The state tree of Pennsylvania is the eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis), designated in 1931. This tall, evergreen tree thrives in Pennsylvania's forests, providing shelter for wildlife and helping to maintain cool, shaded stream habitats. Its dense foliage and graceful, drooping branches make it a beautiful and iconic part of the landscape. Historically, its bark was used in the tanning industry, and its wood is valued for construction. The eastern hemlock symbolizes strength, endurance, and Pennsylvania's rich natural heritage.
