1. Does Weeping Norway Spruce grow upright on its own?
Not reliably in the way a standard spruce does. Its height and outline depend on whether a leader is trained upward; without support, branches tend to cascade and spread.
2. Can I grow it over a retaining wall?
Yes, where the planting area offers adequate soil and drainage. Its hanging branches can soften the edge of a wall, but plan for the mature spread.
3. How much sun does it need?
Full sun is ideal, although the store's growing information also allows some partial shade. Better light generally supports denser growth.
4. How big will it get?
The catalog lists approximately 12 feet tall and 9 feet wide. Training, site conditions, and time can change the final dimensions.
5. Should I shear the branches?
Avoid routine hedge-style shearing. Selective pruning preserves the unusual weeping form and helps prevent a crowded interior.
6. Is it evergreen in winter?
Yes. The green needles remain on the branches year-round, providing winter structure.
