Be careful about trees that have been in peoples houses or especially businesses. They may have been sprayed with fire retardent. Some wash off, but you would have to know what was used. You also need to check for things left in the tree. I found hooks in the one I received.

Hemlock in NH is just trees, as far as I know anyways, but in doing research for our little herd, I found out that the poisonous hemlock isn't the tree but a plant. Thought I would pass the knowledge along as I always assumed that the tree was what Socrates used. Learn something new everyday!
