Tsuga canadensis
Canadian hemlock

The monoecious flowers are too small to be of ornamental interest.

The yellowish tan pollen sacs are borne in clusters 1/8 - 3/16" long, near the tips of the branches.

The female flowers are oval-shaped 1/4" green miniature cones borne near the tips of the branches.
