I only have 2 small ones, but Picea engelmannii 'Bush's Lace' looks like it will be an awesome tree.

Omorika 'Bruns' - looks to be really cool, not really much weeping besides being a narrower omorika with great color in the blue & green mix. I planted four 6-7 ft ones at work behind our public works building. Should be quite a site in time.

A new species of Douglas fir has been sighted in my neighborhood this week:

Pseudotsuga Thatsalotasnowiana
{{gwi:862480}}

That's also a new 'weeping pine' to the left on the driveway. lol

what driveway ... lol

Link to a previous discussion.

Here is a link that might be useful: Strict Weepers

Menziesii is the species name. 'Graceful Grace' produces grayish leaves that point sideways producing a bottlebrush effect.

A weeping douglas-fir near Toledo, WA, at 376 State Highway 505 was measured as being 67' tall during 1995. Not far north of Seattle the NE 155th St skateboard park opposite 9th Ave NE has one 50' tall (within a grouping of 5).

Of the ones mentioned above Picea Omorika "Pendula Bruns" is the superior plant, IMO. Older specimens are very attractive as they grow, often twisting and curving as they head upwards. Picea glauca pendula and Picea engelmannii "Bush's Lace" are very nice too with the later being bulkier. The Nootkas are nice- Green Arrow and Van den Akker. I've always felt Green Arrow (in particular) looks nice when plants in a grouping of 3. You may also want to consider Sequoiadendron Barrabits Requiem.

Hard to beat Picea breweriana

But even some Picea abies in the wild are very good

I guess this will be one of my personal favorties. Needs to be trained to be an upright. About 2 ft. tall when planted 10 years ago,

Picea pungens 'Pendula'

{{gwi:681918}}

"...Picea Omorika 'Bruns'. Need info but apparently not as narrow as Pendula Bruns..."

No, not as narrow. Grows, on average, about 10x4 in 10 yrs. Although I saw one this summer that was about 12-14 feet high and 4 feet wide. Too soon to tell on mine (5x2 at the moment)but mine put on about 18 inches of growth this year. Not too pendulous (the odd branch will hang down), but has that great omorika bi-color effect.

I've seen some pictures of Pinus strobus 'Angel Falls' (a toe curler).
How does it compare to P.s. 'Pendula'?
There was an older post with a removed picture from Dave; hoping he can show us a current picture and opinions.

Barbara

I'm surprised you didn't mention Sequoiadendron giganteum, 'Pendulum'.
In the middle of the picture...... taken today.
{{gwi:862487}}

Barbara- Oh the Angel Falls is a very nice Strobus. Its so much tighter then Pendula. I believe its an Iselis plant? I have one and its trained up and then weeps straight down. Pendula sometimes sprawls out a bit, but this one is very narrow. a 6 ft plant is about 18 inches across. You must get one! :)

Also Cupressus Raywoods Weeping is a nice weeper and hardier than given credit.

Thanks Nikkie..I'll be keepin an eye out for the P.s. 'Angel Falls'

Here are a of couple larger weepers.

This is my favorite of the favorites:

Cupressus macrocarpa 'Saligna Aurea'

Juniperus scopulorum 'Tolleson's Blue'
{{gwi:652775}}

Barbara

I was just going to mention the Tolleson's, but was going to have to look up the full name. I've never seen one that big! I've always wondered how they turn out.

I have a 1-gal Berliner's Weeping as well as a 1-gal Bush's Lace... the Berliner's has a shaggier, messier look, both the foliage up close and, based on a photo or two I've seen, overall, and I think it gets pretty big. If it's that groomed look you're after, I don't think Berliner's is the best choice.

KarinL

Although usually called 'Saligna Aurea' it's actually 'Conybearii Aurea'. It's an Australian introduction, dating from 1933 or earlier.

Similarly, the juniper has been on the market since at least 1945 as 'Tolleson Weeping' but is actually 'Tolleson's Blue Weeping'. One planted in Los Angeles during 1969 had reached 26' by 1993.

Thanks for the name clarifications bboy; I do want to be accurate when providing plant names!

Barbara

You bet you do Barbara.... and you can trust bboy. He's a wealth of knowledge.

Dax

Thanks for the compliment!

Another old topic.
I thinks this is one of the best narrow upright forms:
Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Filip's Golden Tears'.

Hi CJ Do you live near a nuclear power station? T.

Hi Tunilla,

There's no nuclear power station in my neighbourhood, but a lot of F16 airplanes flies over 3 times a day...

Heloo,

I am looking for Cupresus Macrocarpa Flagelliformis. could you be so kind to assist. ware can i buy it?

Please start your own post,,,bringing up an 8 yr old post is not a good way to get answers,,,but thanks for bringing this thread up ,,,it's cool

ron

Ive got about 8-10 Picea Pungens 'Baby Blue'. One is different than the rest. I need to take a pic. It appears to be an upright weeper.

This is a horrible pic, but it is in the middle right, touching/behind the Picea Pungens Globosa on standard. Next time Ill snap a closer pic. I am pretty excited.

Pete , to bad it is in all that shade
