CHRISTMAS TREE: WHITE SPRUCE

The White Spruce tree name is strictly descriptive: the tree belongs to the spruce family, a close relative of the blue spruce. The needles are difficult to differentiate between these two spruce trees. White spruce is the provincial tree of Manitoba. It is also the state tree of South Dakota where it is known as the "Black Hills Spruce Tree".

It's characteristics are well suited for Christmas tree decorations and ornaments:

• the color is a bluish green

• the foliage is thick, perfect for Christmas tree ornaments

• needles are stiff, but the tips are blunt making them essentially prickless

• nice conical shape

• lovely, moderately strong fragrance

Here are 2 pictures of the White Spruce tree: the first on a White Spruce farm, and the second of the same tree in its natural state on a manicured lawn.

The natural maximum height range of the White Spruce is 140 feet. The White Pine Christmas tree has a top age range of 300 years for many trees. Here are two photos: the needles and the branch:
