Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Though this attractive plant is often seen as a large weeping mound, an upright leader can be trained from which its lovely pendulous branches will sway... either way, it's a beauty. S/M

A classic weeping form in cultivation since 1862, generally with a strong upright leader and very pendulous branches.

By: Arrowhead Alpines

A large weeping mound form of the Norway Spruce. Often seen in cemeteries and historical locations. The Norway spruce names are greatly mixed up in the trade. This mound form which we are describing can also be sold as 'Pendula' and is likely the same as 'Reflexa.' Either way, this is the mound form that develops a great skirt and there is no distinct upright central leader.
