Picea abies 'Weeping Blue' (staked as a younger plant to a few feet - then it continues upward). This is very common with most Picea pungens - upright forms with only a few exceptions, fyi. It stays very narrow but becomes dense...just like Picea glauca 'Pendula' with an exception that the branches hang straight down, providing a more narrow/cloaked appearance. Think cousin it on The Adam's Family??? LOL

I'll find some more photos for you later.

Kristen-

Are you finding a "Shiloh Weeping" as a mail order? I've been been keeping my eye out for one, haven't really spent any time looking specifically for it though. If so please let me know where you found it. Thanks.

They don't list it - you'll have to contact 'Mark' directly - but they sold me one recently, 2 GAL, nice sized plant. I believe it was $45. Well worth it considering the size and quality.

Although very common in local plantings spruces often deteriorate with time under our mild conditions. Sometimes not very much time. Even Serbian spruce may be thinned out near the base by spruce aphids. Look around for specimens that have been growing for years in sites not under wholesale nursery pest and disease control regimes before deciding these are trees for you.

Even the locally native Sitka spruce is often quite marred by gall aphids and probably other problems, to produce quite easily the most ugly largish planted trees here (Puget Trough, between preferred rainy outer coastal and lower mountain slope zones).

Thanks Will, I'll give them a try.
