White spruce 'Pendula'

FamilyPinaceae

Picea glauca 'Pendula' is a weeping, narrow form of white spruce, recognized for its unique, slender, and pendulous habit, with a trunk typically staked in the nursery. Its gracefully drooping branches, covered with dense bluish-green foliage, create a very striking vertical and sculptural effect. Perfect for solitary planting, rock gardens, or formal landscaping, it draws attention with its narrow, flowing, and evergreen silhouette. Very hardy and tolerant of difficult conditions, 'Pendula' prefers well-drained soil and full sun exposure, requiring no pruning. This cultivar stands out for its graphic shape, narrow width, and natural structure, bringing a lasting architectural accent to the garden.
