Picea glauca
Picea glauca, commonly known as white spruce, is a North American coniferous tree characterized by its tall, straight growth and bluish-green needles. It typically reaches heights of 20-40 meters and prefers cold, moist environments. The tree produces cones that release tiny seeds, which help reproduce the species. White spruce is important ecologically, providing habitat for wildlife, and economically, serving as a key source of timber for construction and paper products. Its adaptable nature makes it a common sight across boreal forests and northern regions.
