Weeping White Spruce - Columnar Conifer - 2019

Today, I'm marking the planting of this tree with a post in the tree diary. This is the eighth conifer with one going in last year ( Weeping Cedar ) and six going in this year ( Canadian Hemlocks part 1 here and part 2 here ). This is the second weeping evergreen and it seems that I have a soft-spot for weeping trees. A few days ago, I posted about how I moved some tulip bulbs out of the way and further from the fence to make room for this tree.
