Hemlocks also get the elongated hemlock scale which can be just as troublesome. I say you can plant hemlocks but be prepared to treat them regularly. </div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><b><font face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif"><span></span><span></span><br></font></b></div><div dir="ltr"><b><font face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif">Earl "Bud" Reaves, CF</font></b><div><b><font face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif">County Forester</font></b></div><div><font size="1" face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif">SAF

<div dir="ltr">Hi Everyone:</div>
<div dir="ltr">Recently a landscape designer told me that she has been using hemlocks for awhile now without problems. This makes me wonder if the woolly adelgid is less of a threat these days? I have reluctantly avoided installing hemlocks, but would love
to, if they had a chance of success. Any updates on the status of this problem?</div>
<div dir="ltr">Thanks for your help.</div>
