It's supposed to droop dramatically like that.

Post this photo on the conifer forum and ask about care, ID, and what if any trimming is needed. If it were mine, I would remove the two smaller poofs at the base and enjoy that stunning weeping conifer, perhaps a spruce. It seems to be planted far enough from the building so that it won't create issues. I might consider enlarging the bed, but the folks on the conifer forum might be able to advise if that would be a good idea.

Thank you guys. To be honest I really love the two smaller poofs and am not really sure if I'm liking the weeping conifer. I'll definitely post on that forum and see what they say. Thanks again for your help! :D

The poofs can most likely be readily replaced or perhaps even moved, but to another location in the yard/garden. I would think long and hard before removing the weeping conifer as it is sized appropriately to the building IMO. If isn't to your taste, might be of value to a nursery that specializes in large, valuable trees as it looks healthy and is both large and unusual.

some of the weeping conifers can have a gangly, awkward appearance in their young years. They usually look better as they age and thicken up. They can become quite impressive looking.

Got it! Thanks so much for your help! We will definitely not remove until completely sure and if we ever do will look into a nursery. For now it will stay and I'll move on to other items that I need help with! =)

You might even be able to sell it. It is gorgeous if you like weeping conifers. Looks like it might even be a weeping Douglas fir, from the distant look of the cones but hard to say, I don't know your zone and can't see the cones that well. You can't really prune conifers because they don't grow back after cut. You can only shape, permanently. You have a valuable, healthy and somewhat rare specimen plant, but it is planted in an awkward spot. If you don't like it, I'd look into finding someone who might want to dig it out and have it. Would have to have machine to do it, tree spade and not sure what they might hit underneath, but worth exploring, IMHO. I'd enjoy it as long as I could, but I'm a verified tree hugger.

I'm not really sure of my zone as I'm completely new to this. But I live in the midwest. Northwest Indiana near lake Michigan. I can take a closer picture of the cones tomorrow if that could help! :)

Brooke, Here's how to add your location info to your profile so that it posts automatically next to your name, including a zone look-up. That way you won't have to remember to give location info each time you post. That is what appears in parenthesis after my username.

Go to Your Houzz in the upper right of every page, click Edit Profile, and then on the left side of the profile page click advanced settings. Well down the advanced settings page is a blank labeled Climate Zone for Garden Forums along with a green link to find your zone.

If you add info on your state or the nearest large city you will get even better information since zone only relates to average coldest winter temperatures.

Then return to the top of the page and click Done Editing.

Looks like a weeping Norway spruce, picea abies pendula. Possibly Frohburg Norway Spruce.

Thank you everyone! :)

That tree looks so cool! I want to get one now. We have some gigantic Norway spruces on our property; never considered a weeping dude like this! Thanks for sharing!

This photo makes me want one (or more) as well! So cool.
