Description

If there ever was a coniferous evergreen that is sure to put a towering exclamation point on a landscape, it’s the Weeping White Spruce, Picea glauca ‘Pendula’. This tall and narrow weeping beauty has stiffly held, weeping branches and light gray-green foliage. The original tree was propagated by D. Hill Nursery from a specimen in a native stand near Guelph, Ontario. Thanks to Jean Iseli, who reintroduced this elegant Weeping White Spruce in 1982, it was not lost to cultivation. Adding 6 to 12 inches in height per year, you can expect a tree 20 feet tall or more at maturity. An exceptionally attractive specimen in rock or conifer gardens, home foundation plantings, or anywhere in the sunny landscape you want an outstanding focal point.

Landscape & Garden Uses

The Weeping White Spruce can grow 20 to 30 feet tall and 4 to 6 feet wide at its base. It is an outstanding focal point specimen. A fine addition to conifer gardens, rock gardens and Asian theme gardens.

Growing Preferences

Weeping White Spruce is easy to grow in a damp to moist but well-drained soil of average fertility. As with so many other conifers, constantly soggy or wet soils can be problematic, leading to root rot or other harmful plant diseases. So make sure to plant this one in well-drained soil, whether in the ground or in pots. It prefers full to mostly sun. We suggest at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
