Where do Hemlocks originate from? Where are they most naturally occuring?

Question

Does northern Europe have most conifers like spruce and hemlock? (Russia and Scandinavia)?

Are Arborvitaes and Cypress mostly from southern areas like mediterranean and Greece?

Answer 1

Almost all geographical zones have evergreens of some type. Hemlocks (Tsuga canadensis) was originally found in N.America, it's reach is from southern Appalachians north thru Canada and includes the Rockies. Europe has it's own species, but it is very similar. Cypress and Arborvitaes tolerate more heat than some, so you will find them in more temperate climates.
