A blue-green weeping spruce. Similar to the weeping Norway Spruce Picea abies 'Inversa' which is often sold as Picea abies 'Pendula,' but blue. To clarify with regards to form, 'Inversa' is mounded and many great specimens have been staked or high-grafted, gracefully weeping down - they have no upright central leader.
