When young, the vigorous Picea engelmannii ‘Fritsche’ will grow strongly upright with broadly sweeping branches. Those branches become adorned with pendulous branchlets that fall immediately downward, giving the tree an appearance of being draped in a flowing robe. As the older branches mature, they too begin to drop creating a specimen of majestic, yet graceful beauty. Long, thin, grayish blue green needles give this tree a soft texture and satisfying color.
