It's a prostrate plant unless staked so it will in time after staking return to the ground and grow along the ground if not pruned to hold a certain shape.

The only example of a tall weeping Pinus strobus I've seen is the one Iseli showed awhile back, 'Angel Falls'. The wood of the main trunk seems solid once set, plus once it calipers up in subsequent years ... I don't know. My brain tells me this thing will stay solid upright without help after the initial leader training each year, well maybe a slight bow or curve but upright for the most part. My curiosity was the branching, I think that's what got this selected and set it apart from 'Pendula' and its many other iterations. A tall, soft, needle cloaked tower would be nice but I'd love, I guess I'm hoping, for some variation and "wierd" to emerge.

I use the same training method on 'The Blues', 'Gold Drift', 'Pendula Bruns', etc, but maybe Pinus strobus weepers are less stable at height compared to other species? The Larix 'Pendula' will definately always live on the rebar but I was hoping that would be the only one.
