Picea glauca 'Pendula'

This graceful evergreen conifer has a striking narrow, weeping habit that is perfect for adding vertical interest to any landscape. It thrives in USDA Hardiness Zones 2-7, tolerating extremely cold temperatures down to -50°F. The rich green, dense needle foliage provides year-round color and works beautifully in gardens or as a focal point. This tree does not exhibit notable fall color due to its evergreen nature, and it does not produce showy flowers. It bears small, inconspicuous cones. Preferring well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soils, it can adapt to poor soil conditions once established. The form is upright with strongly weeping branches, creating a dramatic, elegant profile. Its mature height can reach up to 30 feet, with only a 6 to 8-foot spread, giving it a statuesque appearance without taking up much horizontal space. This variety is generally deer resistant, making it low-maintenance and reliable for gardens in rural or suburban areas.
