We have two of these in the front of our house - East facing - so they only get morning sun. They are doing great - 7 years old now and tall. We also live in high desert, clay soil conditions. Thought I'd share something great about this tree. The main top branch (that sticks straight up) broke off during a bad windstorm - all the way down to the top tier of the first weeping branches. I was devastated - as I thought that it wouldn't grow anymore. The following summer one of those new weeping branches from the summer before lifted itself up from its downward position and became the new leader - now 3 years later you'd never know it wasn't the original one. Its a beautiful tree - ours is about 12 feet now and planted near our foundation - perfect place for it. :D
Idea for a few videos! In the same vein as your Q&A videos, maybe you could do Pick My Plant videos where subscribers send you a photo and description of a trouble spot in their landscape, and you pick the perfect plant for the spot. You do such an amazing job with that in your own landscape! People would love to hear your ideas for their own spaces!
You should be very grateful to your parents for introducing you to plants and teaching you to love them. I feel like you been around plants all your life. What a blessing! I grew up in a beatiful place as well, full of mountains, Rivers, colorful birds, where flowers grow beatiful and you can hear the rain when its coming in the mountain. I happened to end up in a hot place! Texas. My plants don't last long 😔 but I don't give up! Thank you for your amazing videos 😍
Wow, you are in the very South of Texas not to far from the golf. I hope that Harvey did not get by your area! Are in zone 10, 11... You can grow Ruby red grapefruits, yum 😋! Is it really not over there? I only visited Corpus Christi and San Padre island. You have a good night!
Hello there fellow Texans. I live in San Antonio and have family in Harlingen. What a small world. :) I just bought a hydrangea from proven winners that is classified for zones 3-9! I'm excited to try it out this growing season. Happy growing to y'all!
Yes there is a lot of grapefruit around here. And Harvey passed very close to is but left another route. Yes we live about 30 minutes away from south padre island. It's very nice to meet you! 😊
I just purchased a weeping white spruce for an anchor in my front yard. I’m so excited to get her planted in the ground. I love that she has a ‘skirt’.
I love the look of this weeping white spruce when it is more mature, I agree with Aaron, as a baby it didn't really make me jump for joy, but when it gets bigger it is so cool looking, thank you for sharing this video, I might never have considered getting one of these. You are so lucky to have parents that own a garden center, what fun this is for you to see all of the new plants and flowers and to be able to incorporate them in your beautiful landscape. This is so fun to see!
Thanks for the video and especially for showing the picture of a mature one. Seeing it the way it looks now I would never have bought one but knowing how it's going to look definitely a winner! Thanks guys 💚
I love these shorts videos,they give me my daily fix to help me wait until all the snow is melted and I cant go work in the yard, sadly for me, I have at least a month to wait. Thank you for the effort you put in your videos!!!
Gooodmorning! Had my 7 year old tell us it was time for Garden Answere!!! Lol! Love evergreens we just added this one to our list once we get our home to plant in. Love you guys!❤️🌷🌹🌷
Garden Answer Thank you so much! By watching your channel we have learned how important evergreens are to a garden. My girls are learning so much as well thanks again sending lots of love to your beautiful family!❤️🌷🌷🌷
I love the drone views! I see something different each time! It’s a real pleasure to watch you’re videos! I can’t wait to see Benjamin outside following you guys around! Exciting keeping up with you’re progress in this very large property!
I need to find a spot for one of these -- a striking vertical element! Great that it will tolerate part shade, which opens up more opportunities to use it in the landscape.
I came across one of those during my hunt for a Christmas tree, and I said at the time I would go back to get it ! Things ta do still working on my garden got another fig tree and a blueberry boysenberry Muscat grape so delicious !
So glad you did a video on this one! It’s the perfect tree for a corner of my house and I love how it looks like a Whoville tree! Can’t wait to hang a few red bulbs for Christmas!
Another great looking tree for Aaron to put Christmas lights on , as if he didn’t have enough to do ! Your Christmas lights were amazing last year so I say ( on Benjamin’s behalf ) yay daddy another great looking tree for more lights , more lights and MORE LIGHTS 🎄🎄
Can you do a video on the other plants as you fill in that garden you just added the weeping spruce to? I need ideas for several areas in my garden. I love the weeping spruce!
Thank you so much for making this video! This is my favorite tree right now, and I can't wait to plant it! We are closing on our home on June 14, and I just need to pick a spot for one of these amazing trees! I feel confident that I can plant it well now thanks to you! You are awesome! You have a new viewer!
I've been there (and still deal with it)! We apply pelletized gypsum 3-4 times per year on the lawn, and I add it to flower beds 1-2 times per year (or as often as I can get to it). It takes a build up of it in the soil to start working, so persistence is key. Definitely worth the effort and money, though. In my old garden, I didn't see results for a couple years, but just kept at it, and in time I had beautiful soil! :)
Hello Laura. I need help with a blue spruce that seems to be browning on one side towards the bottom of the tree. I know you have multiple evergreen and I was wondering if you have ever come across any problema and what to do to help it survive.
I am just putting one of these striking Spruce trees in my yard, never likes pines until I saw this beautiful weeper. When you do your next video on them, I would love to know what companions you feel they do well with. I can't put Delphiniums out as they are poisonous for dogs, but would love some other recommendations. Love, love, love your videos and especially Russell photo bombing.
I planted one in our yard about fifteen years ago. You may find that it gets bigger than the grower suggests. Perhaps you are planning to move your walkway if not the limbs will cover it. They are a marvelous tree but planting that close to your house could be an issue in the future.
That is always a huge consideration. We've been planting this variety of spruce for years and I've never seen it grow bigger than what the tag states (15' h x 4' w). Our growing environment usually limits the growth on most everything. I suppose it could be different given ideal growing conditions, but definitely something to note and keep my eye on! :)
Garden Answer I had not considered the zone having a limiting factor on tree size. That explains a lot! I'm in zone 7, almost 8. Seems every tree I have grows bigger than what the tag said it would.
Question have you ever done and update on this space tree. I'm in zone 7B (Georgia) and everyone is telling me I need to only plant this tree so it gets morning shade and not full sun. I was wondering how yours Is doing in full sun.
I saw an evergreen (looks like a spruce) which was about 40' tall & very narrow. I wish I could by one of those and identify it to buy and plant one. I don't think the Serbian Spruce grows that skinny normally. I have a picture on my phone of it.
It's like you read my mind!! We just lost an atlas cedar that needs replaced. I love this one! We have another atlas cedar that grew really rapidly and my husband wants to cut it down. I am a tree hugger and hate when he wants to do something like this but he is worried about outdoor water faucet pipes that run 3 feet down that are next to this tree. Do you have any advice that might save the tree?
I just planted one last fall. Couple questions, do you fertilize these every year and what do you recommend. I was told they need 10 gallons of water a week, how long do you need to give them that much water? A few years? Thank you
After our hot dry summer in the northeast, my white spruce has dried out, brown needles at the bottom inside. Some of the needles have also dropped off and it's bare. How do I trim it without damaging the tree permanently?
Could you tell us where you get youf pots and urns? Even the statuary; I have been to every garden center around my area and I can't find anything decent. I can find frogs and garden trolls, yeah, no.
It's definitely something to think about. We've planted this tree in our area in spaces like this for years and haven't had a problem, but that could be because our growing environment is really tough on plants and they rarely grow to what the tag states as mature size (which in this case if 15'h x 4' w). I should have talked more about that in the video, there were several questions about it! ;)
On a Monrovia website they do say that this tree gets 6-10 feet wide and 20-30 feet tall. I am in Dallas,Tx and doubt it would get this tall here since it is so hot and dry.
I know I’m replying to an old video, but how far shld one plant away from a wall, sidewalk, or a pool? I have the best spot picked and I’m worried abt those features I have.
A note to my fellow viewers: Be prepared to do repairs to your foundation/sidewalk, if you plant a tree that close to your home. Additionally, in many parts of the US, planting a tree in that location will cause issues should you decide to sell your property later. Many areas have specific guidelines on how close they can be to structures and/or public roads, so do your homework, talk with an arborist, and set some money aside for tree-related repairs. Happy planting!
Laura,I would like to order the G&B products and realize they are the Kellogg co. Home Depot in our are, Waxahachie, Texas, carry the Kellogg product but not the bale. Do you have any idea how I can purchase the product?
That spruce is very striking when mature, would the roots cause a possible problem to the house in the future? Happy gardening to my viewers and subscribers, Cheers Adam
I love this beautiful tree. I will look for one and hopefully find a not too expensive one. I am pretty shocked lately how many even smaller conifers are $200 and higher. They are certainly an investment. Do you know how this one does around septic systems?
White spruces, in general, are shallow rooted plants. The mature height of the tree is the minimum distance it should be kept from your septic system, though more aggressive water seekers and fast growers should be a minimum of 100 feet away.
Is it okay that the bottom branches are touching the soil? We just planted these trees and the bottom branches that are touching the soil are turning brown.
We have two of these in the front of our house - East facing - so they only get morning sun. They are doing great - 7 years old now and tall. We also live in high desert, clay soil conditions.

Wow! That is wonderful to hear!
I can’t find any two websites that list the same height and width. How tall and wide are yours?
Would you mind posting a picture? I’d love to see your beautiful tree.
Her videos help me out with my depression
dakota davis Gardening in General helps me so when winter is here I focus on my house plants and her videos.

@@dakotadavis5068 God bless you - depression can be a nightmare. Love, hugs, and plants to you.🥹
Thank you! I just bought one tonight and am planting tomorrow. I really appreciate all your videos.

That's actually a really good idea, you should comment it on a newer video so laura might see it
Yaaasssss! When in doubt, always do a video!
These will be 12-15ft at 10 years old. However they will get much bigger than that and reach about 40 ft tall at maturity.
One of my favorite evergreens, holds a prominent place in my sunny garden. And for sure don't judge it as a baby. So majestic as it matures!
Sandy Fisher I can’t find any two websites that list the same height and width. How tall and wide are yours?
You should be very grateful to your parents for introducing you to plants and teaching you to love them. I feel like you been around plants all your life. What a blessing!

Julie Garcia where in Texas? I lived in SAN ANTONIO for 3 years. I had dill everywhere!
Camelia Cristofaro hello I live in Harlingen Texas. We visit San Antonio 2 weeks ago. Have a wonderful evening!
Wow, you are in the very South of Texas not to far from the golf. I hope that Harvey did not get by your area! Are in zone 10, 11... You can grow Ruby red grapefruits, yum 😋! Is it really not over there? I only visited Corpus Christi and San Padre island.
You have a good night!
Hello there fellow Texans. I live in San Antonio and have family in Harlingen. What a small world. :) I just bought a hydrangea from proven winners that is classified for zones 3-9! I'm excited to try it out this growing season. Happy growing to y'all!

Weeping evergreens are SO beautiful! Just absolutely lovely.

We've got a real serious problem with needle casting disease here in Michigan, so I've been reluctant to plant anything like this.
It looks almost Dr Seuss like at maturity. Thanks for sharing Laura.
Thanks for the video and especially for showing the picture of a mature one. Seeing it the way it looks now I would never have bought one but knowing how it's going to look definitely a winner! Thanks guys 💚
I love these shorts videos,they give me my daily fix to help me wait until all the snow is melted and I cant go work in the yard, sadly for me, I have at least a month to wait. Thank you for the effort you put in your videos!!!
I am a big fan of evergreen 🌲 myself. Low maintenance and they are stunning. Thanks Laura for sharing ...👍.
Gooodmorning! Had my 7 year old tell us it was time for Garden Answere!!! Lol! Love evergreens we just added this one to our list once we get our home to plant in. Love you guys!❤️🌷🌹🌷
I'm so thankful for families like yours that follow our channel! :) You'll love this variety of evergreen!
Garden Answer Thank you so much! By watching your channel we have learned how important evergreens are to a garden. My girls are learning so much as well thanks again sending lots of love to your beautiful family!❤️🌷🌷🌷
An update on the growth would be cool. Did you buy this from a local nursery or online?
I am in love with this tree!! Super excited for more evergreen videos!! I am really lacking some winter interest in my yard.
Yay! Zone 2!! I love when you plant stuff that I can plant too... and what a cool tree!!
What a majestic evergreen - WOW ☀️
Nice, love weeping trees and like a slim tree., Glad you showed mature one.
That is such a beautiful evergreen.
Great video! We just bought this pine in early spring here in Cincinnati. Really added a nice touch behind our fire pit. Thank you
That's a very nice little evergreen! Love the shape as it grows!!
This is what I’m wanting to plant in my yard! I’d love to see more evergreen vids!
I love the drone views! I see something different each time! It’s a real pleasure to watch you’re videos! I can’t wait to see Benjamin outside following you guys around! Exciting keeping up with you’re progress in this very large property!
I wanted to get one of these, but when I looked up a weeping white spruce it said it got to be 20-30' & 6-10' wide. Are you sure about your specs?
I need to find a spot for one of these -- a striking vertical element! Great that it will tolerate part shade, which opens up more opportunities to use it in the landscape.
I came across one of those during my hunt for a Christmas tree, and I said at the time I would go back to get it ! Things ta do still working on my garden got another fig tree and a blueberry boysenberry Muscat grape so delicious !
Weeping white pine is on my list!!
Thank you. Always informative and motivating. I love watching your channel.
Most Gorgeous Evergreen 🌲 I’ve ever seen... I’d love to have one in my yard. TFS 🌿
I’ve been searching for some narrow evergreens to add to my zone 3 yard. This is definitely a contender!
what a beautiful little tree!
So glad you did a video on this one! It’s the perfect tree for a corner of my house and I love how it looks like a Whoville tree! Can’t wait to hang a few red bulbs for Christmas!
EXCELENTE TÉCNICA AGRADEÇO PELAS INFORMAÇÕES
Another great looking tree for Aaron to put Christmas lights on , as if he didn’t have enough to do ! Your Christmas lights were amazing last year so I say ( on Benjamin’s behalf ) yay daddy another great looking tree for more lights , more lights and MORE LIGHTS 🎄🎄
I was just wondering about this tree saw it in garden centre and now I'm going to get it for my back garden, thanks for info on it.
Beautiful tree. Such a unique shape. Looking forward to more trees of all kinds videos. Thanks for the great info. 🌲🌳🌿😻
Can you do a video on the other plants as you fill in that garden you just added the weeping spruce to? I need ideas for several areas in my garden. I love the weeping spruce!
I love all your guys videos very informative and just very enjoyable to watch
Thank u
It looks like a tree that belongs in a Dr. Seuss book 😍💙

It's beautiful and I'm looking forward to it's growth...I love evergreen trees...
Love evergreens!! Thanks Laura !
Good going. LOVE IT Bennie
Hi Laura, can you please perhaps do a video about how to improve clay soil with gypsum? I have a large yard full of clay.
I've been there (and still deal with it)! We apply pelletized gypsum 3-4 times per year on the lawn, and I add it to flower beds 1-2 times per year (or as often as I can get to it). It takes a build up of it in the soil to start working, so persistence is key. Definitely worth the effort and money, though. In my old garden, I didn't see results for a couple years, but just kept at it, and in time I had beautiful soil! :)
Always love your videos! So much information and love that the description is posted with the zone
Also I’m with Aaron on this one, the mature tree is beautiful and I have a perfect spot for it.
Thanks for the information on the evergreen! Great idea!
Is there an update on how this little guy is doing? Do you have strong winds? We have some pretty healthy winds in 5b.
Thank you great information I’m learning so much
Thank you i was needing this for zone 7
Just got one for 75% off at my work and thought “I’m sure Laura filmed hers” 😊

Very unique, ? what about the roots growing into the foundation?
Pine trees dont tend to grow like that. I have one behind my house its at least 30 + ft never have had a problem with the root system being invasive
Where I live larger evergreens eventually succumb to our severe summer storms. unfortunately. They usually uproot or snap
I planted one in our yard about fifteen years ago. You may find that it gets bigger than the grower suggests. Perhaps you are planning to move your walkway if not the limbs will cover it. They are a marvelous tree but planting that close to your house could be an issue in the future.

I love it! I planted one a year ago and it’s so f great. Can we see how yours is doing now? Update please! 😁😁
very interesting so glad you showed us this one. thank you
Love it! So pretty!
Very informative and helpful thank you. Beautiful tree!
love this spruce
Hi Laura, Do you have any suggestions on what plants I can plant in the area of a blue spruce? Thanks for your help.
🌲🌲🌲I love this tree and I believe it is native to the Northeast.
Love! I’ve been wanting to plant one of these!
When are you uploading monthly garden tour video? I love those videos.
We just filmed one! We'll upload it hopefully in the next few days! :)
Garden Answer They just make me feel like I live right there in your garden😍. It's also perfect stress buster 😆
Trying to decide between this evergreen and the tea olive for privacy in one area of my yard! Hmm?
Question have you ever done and update on this space tree. I'm in zone 7B (Georgia) and everyone is telling me I need to only plant this tree so it gets morning shade and not full sun. I was wondering how yours Is doing in full sun.
What a lovely tree! At what point do you stop staking it to help it grow straight?
I wish I could also plant evergreens in my non existent garden, anyway have a good day everyone
Lomi Royte 🤣
Perfect video for me. Thank you!💫
I saw an evergreen (looks like a spruce) which was about 40' tall & very narrow. I wish I could by one of those and identify it to buy and plant one. I don't think the Serbian Spruce grows that skinny normally. I have a picture on my phone of it.

The only listing I can find says this tree's height will be 20+ feet. Does final height depend on soil and location?
Thank you. Is it a fast grower?
As others have commented, I'm curious about the possible foundation issues.
It's definitely something to think about. We've planted this tree in our area in spaces like this for years and haven't had a problem, but that could be because our growing environment is really tough on plants and they rarely grow to what the tag states as mature size (which in this case if 15'h x 4' w). I should have talked more about that in the video, there were several questions about it! ;)
Laura, could you please also mention any possible issues planting around septic systems?
On a Monrovia website they do say that this tree gets 6-10 feet wide and 20-30 feet tall. I am in Dallas,Tx and doubt it would get this tall here since it is so hot and dry.
I know I’m replying to an old video, but how far shld one plant away from a wall, sidewalk, or a pool? I have the best spot picked and I’m worried abt those features I have.
Different. wont it lift sidewalk as gets older and cause basement issues
Great info. Thank you! How are you staking the leader? Bamboo tied to it?
iveVeritas yes, she said that in the video
My local nursery says these weeping spruce are suseptable to spider mites. Any information on that?
A note to my fellow viewers: Be prepared to do repairs to your foundation/sidewalk, if you plant a tree that close to your home.

are the needles of this tree soft or prickly?..Thank you
Laura,I would like to order the G&B products and realize they are the Kellogg co. Home Depot in our are, Waxahachie, Texas, carry the Kellogg product but not the bale. Do you have any idea how I can purchase the product?
Ah!!!! I had been stewing on this tree and you twisted my arm. I just bought 1. Any thoughts on how long to stake the leader?
I live in a zone 9 would that spruce thrive in my area since it’s for zone 2-8
This is a beautiful plant i need it, how much did it cost
That spruce is very striking when mature, would the roots cause a possible problem to the house in the future?
Happy gardening to my viewers and subscribers, Cheers Adam
Allotment Grow How Trying to lure viewers to your channel? Cheeky.
I’ll bite. I love finding new channels to help out with the garden. Lol
I love this beautiful tree. I will look for one and hopefully find a not too expensive one. I am pretty shocked lately how many even smaller conifers are $200 and higher. They are certainly an investment. Do you know how this one does around septic systems?
White spruces, in general, are shallow rooted plants. The mature height of the tree is the minimum distance it should be kept from your septic system, though more aggressive water seekers and fast growers should be a minimum of 100 feet away.

Hey. Can we get an update on this spruce?
Is it okay that the bottom branches are touching the soil? We just planted these trees and the bottom branches that are touching the soil are turning brown.
Is that spruce a fast grower? 😊
I have one at my place.. It looks awesome😄
Shaista Irfan Saiyed I can’t find any two websites that list the same height and width. How tall and wide are yours? Zone?
Hi, do you know where I can buy the weeping white spruce online?
