Norway spruce

The Norway spruce (Picea abies) is a tall, evergreen coniferous tree native to Europe. It features a narrow, conical shape with dense, dark green needles that grow in clusters. The tree produces hanging, cylindrical cones and is valued for its strong timber, often used in construction and paper production. Norway spruce prefers cool, moist climates and is commonly found in forests, parks, and plantations. It also plays a vital ecological role by providing habitat for wildlife and stabilizing soil with its extensive root system.
