Picea omorika 'Pendula' Picea omorika 'Pendula'

Picea omorika 'Pendula' is a slow-growing small tree that eventually becomes a small tree from a shrub form. Forms a continuous central branch from which slightly drooping main branches grow and more strongly drooping side branches. Like the species Picea omorika, the tree is narrowly pyramidal. The trunk, bark and main and side branches of this densely branched cultivar are similar to Picea omorika in shape and colour. This also applies to the dark green needles. 'Pendula' usually produces very few cones. This beautiful cultivar grows about 10 m tall after many years.
Was introduced to Germany in 1920. Hardiness zone: 5a
