Picea glauca 'Pendula' is a graceful, narrow-upright selection of White Spruce with a strong central leader and steely blue foliage on stiff, strictly pendulous branches that cascade down the trunk and flare out slightly at the tips.  After 10 years of growth, a mature specimen will measure 10 feet (3 m) tall and 3 feet (1 m) wide, an annual growth rate of 1 foot (30 cm).  Picea glauca ‘Pendula’ was “rediscovered” by Jean Iseli in 1982 at the Morton Arboretum in Illinois, where a specimen had grown since 1958.  The original tree was propagated by D. Hill Nursery from a tree in a native stand near Guelph, Ontario. T hanks to Jean Iseli, this elegant Weeping White Spruce was not lost to cultivation.
