Description
A very narrow evergreen spire makes Picea omorika Pendula Bruns a clear vertical accent where garden width is limited. Strictly weeping branches hang close to a slightly twisting upright leader, while green, blue, gray, and silver needles keep the plant distinctive through the year.
Plant this conifer in full sun and moist but well-drained clay, loam, or sandy soil. It accepts acid, neutral, or alkaline conditions. Water when the top two inches of soil are dry, especially while the root system becomes established, and shelter the tree from cold, drying winds.
Little routine pruning is needed. Prune selectively only when necessary from spring through July. A general-purpose fertilizer applied before new growth begins in spring supports steady growth. Watch for adelgids, aphids, conifer red spider mite, and honey fungus.
