Notes
'Pendula' Norway spruce (Picea abies 'Pendula') is a tree for specimen, accent, and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows slowly and has a conical shape. The evergreen needles keep color through winter, and birds visit the tree. Deer tend to pass it by.
Pairs well with Autumn Gold maidenhair tree, Berry Poppins winterberry, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Bridal Crown daffodil.
