This is getting a fair amount of chatter. It's increasingly common in the dry parts of England, it's fairly well spread everywhere. It's very common in the east. Obviously don't eat it, but be aware it can cause problems if strim it and breathe it in, and it causes contact dermatitis even when dead and dried up. You need to know what this plant looks like. #plants #hemlock #wildlife https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-suffolk-66136682

The times of witch hunts were over. The #knowledge of how to brew #hemlock would not prove her guilty of murder. Particularly not as she had taken care to thoroughly #obliterate the traces.

The complex life cycle of the hemlock woolly adelgid (Adelges tsugae), a serious, #invasive #pest of #hemlock trees in north-eastern North America - article in Environmental Entomology (Dec. 2022, vol. 51, issue 6, pp. 1210-1217) by Samita Limbu and others - https://doi.org/10.1093/ee/nvac089
North American porcupine (Erethizon dorsatum) perched in an eastern hemlock. If you zoom in you can see its incisors, orange and hardened from iron oxide. Pic taken during last week's cold snap but these pincushions just don't care. Per one article they are still active at -38 °F. Lake Mohonk, NY. #porcupine #mammal #rodent #hemlock #Tsuga

Checked out a stand of Eastern Hemlock at Trevlac Bluffs Nature Preserve today. Special place with some of the few remaining hemlocks in Indiana, which are thought to be relicts of a colder climate from the end of the last ice age.

#OTD Andre #Michaux made his way into #SouthCarolina by crossing the #Tugalo River.
He wrote in his #Journal:
"I recognized the #YellowRoot, #MountainLaurel, #Hydrangea, & #Hemlock #Spruce...."
It was the first time Andre saw Yellow Root (Rhododendron minus), also called the #Piedmont rhododendron, which is native to #Tennessee, #NorthCarolina, South Carolina, #Georgia, & #Alabama.
