Picea abies

Picea abies, commonly known as Norway spruce, is a coniferous tree native to Northern Europe. It has a tall, straight trunk with dense, reddish-brown bark and characteristic conical shape. Its stiff, pointy needles are blue-green and grow in clusters, and it produces dangling cones that release seeds. Norway spruce is highly valued for its timber, used in construction and paper production, and is also a popular ornamental and Christmas tree. It plays a vital role in forest ecosystems, providing habitat for wildlife and helping maintain environmental balance.
