Tsuga Dumoasa
Scientific Name – Tsuga dumosa
Native to the eastern Himalayas, this is a rare tree that is more common in Ireland than the UK – with only a few trees in south west.
The bark on old trees is similar to that of old larch trees – pinkish, heavily ridged with wide, shallow fissures. Two distinct growth patterns have been identified with small trees forming ovoid pendulous bushes and larger trees being multi-stemmed with broad, irregular crowns.
