Plant InformationPicea Breweriana, commonly known as Brewers Weeping Spruce, is a distinctive evergreen tree admired for its elegant and unique form. This species features long, pendulous branches with soft, needle-like foliage that drapes gracefully from the main trunk, creating a cascading effect. The needles are a rich green colour with a silvery hue underneath, adding to the tree’s visual appeal. Over time, Picea breweriana develops a broad, conical shape with a gracefully weeping habit, making it a standout feature in any landscape.
Picea breweriana is ideal for use as a focal point in large garden beds, landscapes, and specimen plantings. Its dramatic, weeping form and evergreen foliage make it a striking addition to various garden designs, including formal and naturalistic settings.
Picea Breweriana
Plant Picea Breweriana in a sunny location to ensure optimal growth and a healthy appearance. It thrives in well-drained, acidic to neutral soil and prefers consistent moisture, though it is somewhat drought-tolerant once established. This spruce is generally low-maintenance and resistant to most pests and diseases. Minimal pruning is needed, but removing any dead or damaged branches can help maintain its shape and health. Applying mulch around the base can help retain soil moisture and regulate soil temperature, especially during extreme weather conditions. Picea breweriana is hardy and adaptable, making it suitable for various climates, but it may require some protection from harsh winds and severe winter conditions to preserve its delicate, weeping form.
