The Weeping Norway Spruce is living architecture for your landscape. Cascading branches drape from a central leader, creating a dramatic, four-season silhouette that looks bespoke from day one. Cool emerald needles stay lush year-round, giving instant polish to entrances, courtyards, and mixed borders.Compact by nature yet easy to train taller, it thrives in cold climates and asks for little once established. Use it as a statement specimen, pair it with colorful perennials for contrast, or anchor rock and conifer gardens with its elegant weep.
Weeping Norway Spruce Care
Give this tree full sun for best density and color (6–8 hours daily); light afternoon shade is helpful in hotter summer regions. Plant in well-drained soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.0); avoid consistently wet sites. Water deeply the first 1–2 years—about once per week, allowing the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry between soakings—then water during extended droughts.
Mulch 2–3 inches deep over the root zone, keeping mulch a few inches off the trunk. Feed in early spring only if needed with a slow-release evergreen fertilizer. Minimal pruning required: in late winter, remove dead or crossing wood and lightly tip-prune stray shoots; to gain height, stake and train a single leader through the first few seasons. Hardy in Zones 3–7. Monitor for spider mites in hot, dry spells and for spruce gall adelgid; improve airflow and avoid overhead watering.
Weeping Norway Spruce Spacing
As a specimen, allow 6–8 feet of width and plant 6–10 feet from paths, walls, and driveways to preserve the graceful skirt of lower branches. For a loose, artistic screen, space 6–8 feet on center. In containers, use a pot 18–24 inches wide and deep with drainage; increase one size as roots fill the container.
Stake a central leader the first season if you want additional height; remove the stake once the trunk is self-supporting.

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
