- Appearance: White spruce is a medium to large-sized tree that typically reaches heights of 40 to 80 feet (12 to 24 meters) or more. It has a conical or pyramidal shape with dense, pendulous branches. The needles are needle-like, about 1/2 to 3/4 inch (1.3 to 1.9 centimeters) long, and are bluish-green to gray-green in color. The bark is thin and scaly, often gray to reddish-brown.
- Habitat: This species is adaptable to a variety of habitats, from lowland swamps to upland forests. It is commonly found in boreal forests and can tolerate cold, harsh climates. White spruce is often associated with well-drained soils and is a dominant species in many northern forests.
- Cultural and Economic Significance: White spruce has both cultural and economic importance. It is used for timber, plywood, and pulpwood in the lumber industry. Indigenous peoples have traditionally used parts of the tree for various purposes, including construction, basketry, and as a source of medicine.
- Wildlife Habitat: White spruce provides habitat and food for a range of wildlife species. The seeds are an important food source for birds, especially finches, and small mammals. The dense foliage offers shelter for birds and other animals.
- Landscaping: White spruce is sometimes used in landscaping as an ornamental tree, particularly in colder climates. Its attractive form, evergreen foliage, and adaptability make it a popular choice for windbreaks, screens, and as a specimen tree in large yards.

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
Different plants have different watering needs. Check the soil moisture by inserting your finger about an inch into the soil. If it feels dry, water the plant until the water drains from the bottom of the pot. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.
