Comments Hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA) is a tiny (1/32”) sap-sucking insect (relative of the aphid) that has recently become a serious threat to the survival of native hemlocks in the wild in the eastern United States. I have had one die frim HWA, now in control. See Maintenance. The 14 Hemlocks planted as a landscaping screen between my property and the neighbors were planted in 1983.
