The Weeping Blue Spruce is a spectacular and unique specimen tree that is also tough and very cold hardy. This evergreen tree has brilliant silver-blue needles that are attractive all year round. It forms a striking specimen, because the branches cascade downwards, from a central trunk, and it becomes an upright but weeping tree, with a fascinating, irregular form. It brings a strong individualism to your garden, since each tree grows in its own unique way. It is resistant to pests, diseases, air pollution, deer, rabbits and other problems, so it will grow well in the city or in rural areas. It is unique and dramatic in form, while easy to grow. If you want something special as an eye-catching feature in your garden, the Weeping Blue Spruce is the best and easiest way to have it.
Plant your Weeping Blue Spruce in full sun or partial shade. It will grow in most soils, and once established it is drought resistant. No winter protection is needed for this tree, which is hardy to minus 50 degrees. To maintain its upright form, with cascading branches, to any height you wish, attach it to a strong stake of a suitable height. No special trimming is needed for your tree to develop a spectacular weeping and cascading habit, it will do it naturally, so this is an easy care tree that you will love in your garden.
