At 10:32, June 28, 2005 167.206.176.233 asked, "Is this poisonous like the plant that Socrates ate? My collegue from work just ate some at his desk. Pray tell." In case the poster really wants to know (it looks more live valdalism), the answer is no, this is not poison hemlock. That would be Poison Hemlock. Henryhartley June 28, 2005 16:25 (UTC)
No the tree eastern hemlock Pinacae Tsuga cannedensis is a source of vitiman C and can be boied into a tea. Poison hemlock common name watercress is a herbasious plant is thought to have killed Socrates. In no way, other than both being plants, are these two individual plants related.
While many beleive that the Eastern Hemlock is delicios I fail to see how any body could sink their teeth into this ThingI mean really. Just the thought makes me sick to more then my stomach. I really don't know how any person, nay, anything could eat this. Even in tea. Gross, man. Really gross

The following line appears to contain an incorrect or out-of-date reference:
"It has several drawbacks, such as a fairly low tolerance of urban stress, intolerance for very wet or very dry soils, and it is susceptible to attack by the hemlock woolly adelgid, though this is treatable.[11]"
The referenced webpage currently contains no information about treatability/treatment of the hemlock wooly adelgid. Suggest adding a reference to webpage documenting wooley adelgid control e.g. http://www.saveourhemlocks.org/index.shtml
