Michael A. Dirr: 'Pendula' may be the generic name for a number of weeping types. No two are exactly alike, but all tend to splay their limbs in a wild, often awkward, weeping configuration.

 

Can be allowed to grow horizontal or trained up or on a fence. This one is from Iseli Nursery in OR. 12in. growth per year. -30 F. Full sun. Planted in 2011. Orginally trained up. Now coming back down. Planted in 2011.

 

Missouri Botanical Garden: ‘Pendula’ is an unusual weeping cultivar of Norway spruce. It is an irregularly shaped evergreen whose form will vary considerably depending upon its early training. Unless staked and supported, it generally does not grow upward, but instead will mostly spread along the ground as a woody ground cover.
