Description
Picea glauca
White Spruce is a very hardy and versatile tree. It tolerates a range of moisture, soil, and light conditions. On good sites it is moderately fast growing and can grow up to 90 feet tall.
White spruce is commonly planted for timber, landscaping, Christmas trees, and wildlife habitat. It provides an effective windbreak and visual screen, along with important winter shelter for wildlife. White spruce is popular because it is one of the few trees that deer avoid eating, and therefore needs less protection.
