Picea abies 'Pendula'
Choose Weeping Norway Spruce if you want one evergreen specimen with character, not a tidy screen. Its branch structure is the reason to buy it; the tradeoff is slow growth and a shape that needs room and occasional training.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A | Its weeping form gives a planting bed a strong anchor without needing flowers. |
| Growth Rate | C+ | It develops slowly, which helps with control but frustrates customers who want quick size. |
| Maintenance | B | Maintenance is light once placed well, though staking and early shaping matter if you want height. |
| 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 | C | It can be trained, but the spreading habit makes it a poor fit for cramped beds. |
| Screening Value | D | This is not a practical screen because the form is irregular and slow to fill. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this as a standalone plant, not a filler. Decide whether you want it staked upright or allowed to sprawl before planting, because that choice drives the whole layout.

Only if you want height; without staking, it will naturally spread and drape.
Only with enough clearance, because the branches do not stay neatly upright.
It has strong deer resistance, but heavy winter pressure can make any plant vulnerable.

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!
