This may well be the first time I was made aware of the "weeping" variety of pine. Since then I have seen many examples. 'Inversa' is the cultivar seen here that accentuates the weeping aspect. Norway spruce grows throughout Europe as far east as the Ural Mountains, where its population blends with Siberian spruce.
