Should this 'Skylands' be saved?

Purchased this Picea orientalis 'Skylands' from a local nursery. It was actually prostrate when acquired, and assumed it just needed some tweaking and staking to be upright. Now that it is upright in the ground, the shape is very two dimensional without the typical whorling (spellcheck suggested I use the word whoring!) branch pattern. Is this from an inappropriate scion or poor training; will it slowly regain the typical 'Skylands' form? It originated from Iseli

Hope these pictures show the shape in question.

Thank you for the help,

Barbara
