White Spruce
The white spruce is a dense evergreen with branches extending to the ground concealing a trunk covered in thin scaly bark. The white spruce is tolerant of shade, usually the lower branches are shed in dense stands where there is little light.The prickly needles are four-sided, unlike the flat ones of fir trees. The cones are long, slender and hang down from the ends of branches. Male and female cones grow on the same tree. The female cones mature in one season, opening in the autumn to release the seeds and falling off the branches in winter or spring. It grows best on well drained, but moist, soil.
White Spruce is fairly easy to grow. 1-0 and 2-0 are very small and easily get lost in fields if planted directly. We suggest potting up small seedlings and planting out in the field transplants. Heavy transplants are sturdier and and will perform better.
