Bruns pendula Weeping Serbian Spruce grows 6 to 8 ft tall and 2 to 3ft wide in ten years. The overall plant has a very upright form, yet the individual branches weep heavily. Over time the plant will slowly show signs of twisting and curling. The fine textured foliage is a blue green color. The foliage is needle-like, flattened in cross-section, and dark blue-green above, and blue-white below. Bright green new growth in spring followed by deep green foliage in summer. The interest mainly is in the trees form and texture. Cultivated at Bruns Nursery in Germany. The species was originally discovered near the village of Zaovine on the Tara Mountain in 1875, and named by the Serbian botanist Josif Pan. Cultivation: Prefers full sun to partial shade. Relatively drought tolerant although it prefers moist soils.
