Description
Long, slender branches cascade from the irregular framework of Picea abies Pendula, creating a dark green evergreen focal point with a form shaped by its early training. Short, sharp needles and occasional hanging brown cones reinforce its classic spruce character.
Grow it in full sun or partial shade in acidic, moist but well-drained soil. Water regularly while it establishes, mulch annually, and allow enough room for the low branches to spread. Use only light shaping on green growth and avoid cutting back into old bare wood.
