Weeping Norway Spruce

Widely variable in its shape, weeping Norway spruce is an unusual drooping evergreen tree. Depending on its early training, it can grow partially upright if staked and supported. Otherwise, it spreads across the ground.

Its weeping configuration makes this cultivar suitable as an accent plant if allowed adequate space to develop its unique character. It can be used either as a specimen plant, partial groundcover, or cascading plant over a rock wall. Grows approximately 12 inches per year.
