Weeping Spruces have a typical overall height between 30’-66’ (9.1-20 m) and spread diameter of 13’-20’ (4-6.1 m). Exceptional mature Weeping Spruce trees may grow to a height of 130’ (40 m) in the wild. The trunk of the Weeping Spruce has a diameter of 24”-36” (61-91 cm) with needle-like leaf lengths between .59”-1.18” (15-30 mm).
