White Spruce
Description	White spruce (Picea glauca), also known as the concolor or citrus spruce, is a slow-growing, long-lived evergreen tree. White spruce trees have a narrow trunk and a crown with whitish-green needles. When cut, white spruce hold onto their needles, which can make for a great Christmas tree option. They are an important source of food for wildlife and provide habitat for bird nesting. The lumber is used for construction and musical instruments.
