Picea abies 'Frohburg' (Weeping Norway Spruce)

Picea abies 'Frohburg' – Weeping Norway Spruce

A refined, narrow weeping form, Picea abies ‘Frohburg’ offers a more streamlined silhouette than the classic ‘Pendula’. Its strictly pendulous habit, shorter medium-green needles, and fine-textured appearance create a graceful, elegant specimen for the landscape. As plants mature, they develop a broad, dramatic skirt at the base.

Young plants must be staked to establish their height; from the top of the stake, all new growth naturally cascades downward and outward. Expect terminal branches to extend 8–12" per year. Prefers full sun and rich, acidic, well-drained soil.

Details:
Height: 10–15'
Zone: 3–9
Habit: Narrow, strictly pendulous; full spreading skirt with age
Notes: Stake when young to set height; fine texture from slender needles
