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.
