| General Description | Often variable in form, being either a narrow tree or a mounding shrub it is quite confusing in stature. Trained as a tree is worth the effort since it presents, a slightly weeping but full, rich, pale blue form. |
| Shape | Often tall, it has a narrow, weeping or drooping form which begins to bend at the terminal as the tree matures. Otherwise when grown as a shrub it is loosely mounding to sprawling. |
| Landscape | Often used as a strong central point of focus in a garden if trained as a tree, however if left untended it can also become an informal accent or specimen plant. |
| Propagation | Graft onto 2 year old Picea glauca rootstock in November, keeping the graft union moist, ideally packed in peat moss under bottom heat with intermittent mist. |
| Cultivation | Weeping White Spruce is suited to full sun and is able to adapt to dry or moist conditions, however it is intolerant on saturated soils. It is a drought, pollution and road salt tolerant and is adaptable to most soil pH's with the exception of extremes. |
| Pests | It has a wide range of pests such as aphids, nematodes, mites, gall insects and sawfly as well as diseases such as needle cast and spruce canker. |
