Barry, I'll be curious to see the pix. I have come across sites that are all native vegetation then suddenly there are ornamentals and non-natives with tags. It's so weird!
As for the Hemlocks....really sad. Same deal at NYBG. I was told that there are some being treated, but I have yet to find them. I took some pix I'll post. I broke open one of those white HWA sacs and it was so gross and really really gooey inside! I need to get a pic of the inside of the woolly exterior, but I was too grossed out at that moment!
