Picea omorika 'Pendula Bruns'
Choose Bruns Weeping Serbian Spruce if you want a narrow upright specimen with a softer, weeping outline. The tradeoff: it is not a privacy screen and needs space to be viewed as a single focal tree.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A | Strong vertical form and weeping branches make it a clear focal point without taking over the whole bed. |
| Growth Rate | B | It grows steadily enough to matter, but it will not give instant size. |
| Maintenance | B | Little pruning is needed beyond removing awkward or damaged growth, though the leader should stay intact. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | Deer rarely bother this tree; it is a dependable choice where deer are a concern, though young trunks can still be rubbed. |
| Small Space Fit | B+ | Its narrow habit fits tighter areas better than broad spruces, provided overhead room is planned. |
| Screening Value | C | The open weeping shape works as an accent, not a solid privacy wall. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this as a single specimen, not a row plant. Give it a clean backdrop, keep competing shrubs away, and let the weeping branch structure do the work.

Very dedicated and professional. We are happy with the way they planted 14 trees for us. 11 green giants, 2 white pines and 1 Norway spruce.
Picked up my plants-ostrich ferns and blue ice amsonia without any problems! Wonderful, responsive owners! Will be buying from them in the future!
Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
