Serbian spruce 'Pendula Bruns'
FamilyPinaceae
Picea omorika 'Pendula Bruns' is a weeping Serbian spruce with a narrow, pendulous habit, highly prized for its slender, graceful, and majestic silhouette, ideal as a solitary specimen or as a vertical focal point in a structured garden. Its strongly arching, drooping branches cascade down a straight trunk, forming a narrow, sculptural column. Its bicolored foliage, dark green on top and silvery underneath, creates a luminous and refined texture throughout the year. Very hardy and resistant to urban pollution, it adapts to various well-drained soils and prefers a sunny exposure. 'Pendula Bruns' combines architectural form, decorative foliage, and moderate growth, perfect for adding height and movement without cluttering the space.
