Weeping Blue Spruce
In a garden, trees add a visual draw that moves your eye from one area of a space to another, they help reduce erosion and are amazing structures to behold.
The Weeping Larch adds a unique texture and an emotion that only the weepers can conjure. It has a soft touch, unlike evergreens that keep their needles all winter long.
