    As far as I can tell, this Sargent Hemlock is the same as 'Pendula' the Weeping Hemlock. Dr. Dirr writes in his large textbook of landscape plants that it gets 10 to 15 feet high and twice as wide, but give it time and it should get taller than that. There is an impressive line of this weeping form at Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, PA.
