Picea glauca 'Pendula'

White Spruce

Weeping White Spruce (Picea glauca ‘Pendula’) rises in a slender spire with branches that hang close to the trunk. Gray-green to blue-green needles soften the narrow outline while maintaining a strong vertical presence through winter.

The combination of an upright leader and drooping side branches gives this tree its distinctive form. It provides height without the broad spread of a typical spruce, though older specimens keep growing. Place it where its full outline can be appreciated.

Provide sun and consistent moisture while the plant establishes. Give the roots good drainage and allow space for continued growth.
