I found "weather spruce" once on Google but I don't think that is right.
The pictures I have found seem to indicate it is just what is known as a Christmas tree in UK.

narrow spruce
According to this glossary (Projekt Agrarkulturerbe), "Wetterfichte" is a synonym for "Spitzfichte":
http://72.14.253.104/search?q=cache:yttiWO6hbFoJ:www.agrarku...
______________________
The columnar spruces is to be carefully distinguished from the narrow spruce, known as the spitzfichte? in which the habit does not result as a sport, but is due to a severe climate, which checks the growth of the branches. The spitzfichte is similar to the columnar spruce in form, being narrowly cylindrical, but the stem is sparingly clad with short branches, wide apart, and forming a thin crown of foliage. The spitzfichte is never seen at low levels in the Alps and Jura, but occurs near the timber line, often forming small groves in exposed situations. This climatic form is much more common in P. obovata in Lapland, Finland, and northern
Scandinavia.
