Nursery contributed plant descriptions

New growth hangs, making the otherwise upright plant appear to have weeping tertiary branches. The growth stiffens by summer. Purple-red cones in spring. Most would confuse this for an unusual Picea pungens.

A striking upright Spruce with short, gray-blue needles. New growth in spring droops giving this selection a lovely "weeping" look. Tiny red cones in spring mature to dark brown by summer. Discovered and introduced by Buchholz Nursery.
