Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Very narrow and possibly the most pendulous upright Serbian spruce, this weeping tree develops a leader that grows straight without staking. Branches hang down close to the trunk. Also listed as 'Bruns Pendula' by some nurseries, it was chosen Collectors
This beautiful blue-green evergreen is upright (to 8-10' in 10 years) with lovely pendulous branches; slightly narrower and smaller than Picea omorika Pendula; an excellent focal point. S/M
Eventually a 20’x 2’ strongly weeping blue green spruce. Makes a striking tall evergreen conifer.
Voted 2007 Collectors Conifer of the Year by the American Conifer Society. This weeping Serbian grows strictly narrow, similar to the habit of Picea glauca 'Pendula'. As landscapes get smaller, 'Bruns' will become a perfect choice for narrow spaces. Characteristic green and bluish-silver needles demand attention as the plant grows into a tall specimen. This cultivar was found at Bruns Nursery in Germany. Growth Rate medium, 6-12" annually
