Pendulous Evergreen Trees

    Norway Spruce

    • As the most commonly planted spruce in North America, the Norway spruce (Picea abies) is the best-known pendulous evergreen. It can withstand variable climates and conditions and, in nature, reaches up to 150 feet. Its dark green, drooping branches give the Norway spruce its distinctive beauty.

    Other Species

    • Other evergreens also develop a pendulous growth habit, including the eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis), Serbian spruce (Picea omorika), oriental spruce (P. orientalis) and Alaskan cedar (Chamaecyparis nootkatensis).

    Pendulous Cultivars

    • In other cases, horticulturalists have developed pendulous cultivars for evergreen species that don't naturally droop. "Pendula" cultivars exist for both the eastern white pine (Pinus strobus) and the Japanese red pine (P. densiflora). For a broadleaved evergreen, the Yaupon holly (Ilex vomitoria) also has a weeping form.
