8 Varieties of Trees! > White Spruce

White spruce is a tree of the northeast US and Canada. It is a favorite of customers who prefer a natural, traditional look because it grows into a great shape with little pruning compared to other varieties. White spruce has green to bluish green needles, moderatly strong fragrance, and think foliage, perfect for Christmas tree ornaments.  The needles are stiff but the tips are blunt, making them essentially prickless.  The tree is excellent for heavy ornaments.  White spruce wood is prized for it's light color and fine grain characteristics.  Among its more interesting uses is an an export for making game boards (goban) for the Japanese game "Go" (a game using a board and stones which has been played since the Han dyasty.)  White spruce is the state tree of South Dakota. as well as the provincial tree of Manitoba!
