Picea (Spruce trees)

Picea, commonly known as spruce trees, are evergreen conifers that belong to the pine family. They are characterized by their needle-like leaves, which are often sharp and stiff, and their distinctive cone-shaped growth. Spruces are found in cooler regions of the Northern Hemisphere and are valued for their timber, which is used in construction and paper production. They also play a significant role in landscaping and reforestation efforts. Spruce trees support wildlife by providing habitat and food, and their aesthetic appeal makes them popular choices for holiday decorations and ornamental planting.
