I have a spot for planting that gets partial sun/shade. Which of these two
plants, Hemlock, or Avorbortae (not correct spelling, but close), would do
better in partial shade?

Thank you for any comments !!

If you search Google using the correct spelling (arborvitae), you shouldn't
have much trouble finding the information you want.

Nobody ever left footprints in the sands of time by sitting on his butt.
And who wants to leave buttprints in the sands of time?

The Hemlock.

It depends upon how partial. Arborvitae will tolerate shade. Hemlock
demands shade. Arborvitae will tolerate poor soil and dry soil.
Hemlock demands good moist well drained soil.

I am considering replacing the two Arborvitae on the West side of my house with
Hemlocks because I have already replaced about 5 of Arborvitae when they died
on me. This location only gets the afternoon sun, which may have been a factor
in
the loss of these trees. I had Red Cedars growing in these places for over 20
years
with no problems. It could be the nursery stock is bad, or some other factor,
but I
think it is time to try a different variety.

Yup. Think "arbor" (tree) and "vitae"(life). Tree of Life.
