5 White Spruce Pinaceae Picea glauca Large coniferous tree Evergreen Typically grows to meters tall. ( ft) Can grow up to 40 meters. (130 ft) Trunk diameter can grow up to 1 meter. (3.3 ft) Likes long cold winters and short summers Grows from sea level to nearly 9,000 ft White Spruce Thin scaly bark, usually flaking off in small circular plates 2 4 inches across. Bark is dark gray or gray brown White Spruce Range in North America White spruce ranges from northern states up through Canada and into Alaska They are also found in Eurasia making them circumpolar 5
6 Hybridization White spruce naturally hybridizes with Sitka spruce Produces the Lutz spruce Located in Alaska Spruce Bark Beetle Infesting forests in Alaska. Around ¼ long Attack both white spruce and lutz spruce. Rarely attacks black spruce. They nest in the bark, feed on injured treese. One female can lay up to 150 eggs at a time. In 2010 they occupied over 6 million acres of forest statewide. White Spruce Leaves Needle like Four sided 1/3 ¾ long Young trees have pale bluish needles Mature Trees have dark bluish green needles Has a fragrant odor when crushed. 6
7 White Spruce Cones Cones Slender about 2 long Scales are round and soft. No armed umbos Thin and flexible when mature Monoecious: Separate male and female cones on the same plant White Spruce Use White spruce has a good timber value and is used for various things including wood for houses, furniture, and instruments. Is also used for Christmas trees in some areas. White Spruce & Fire Not very fire tolerant Fire of any kind typically destroys White Spruce. After the trees burn, the typically regenerate from seedlings that will come from trees along the edges of the fire range or some trees that did survive. White spruce is generally found in locations where fires are not very frequent. 7
8 White Spruce & Wildlife White spruce typically does not provide a preferred forage for wildlife, although in late winter some species will eat the seeds. White spruce provides important cover for wildlife such as caribou, whitetail deer, woodpeckers and moose. Black Spruce Pinaceae Pinus mariana Small coniferous tree Evergreen Mature tree usually reaches feet in height But in favorable conditions can reach feet in height Trunk up to 12 in diameter Can grow from wet lowland sites to dry upland sites Likes long cold winters Grows from sea level to 5,000 ft Typically live years Grayish to reddish brown bark Scaly like white spruce Black Spruce Bark 8
9 Black Spruce Leaves Needlelike Bluish green Short Pointed, four sided Length 1/2 Found scattered thinly over branches. Cones Oval shaped Length 1/2" to 1 1/2 Young cones purple Mature cones dark brown Monoecious Black Spruce Cones Black Spruce Fire Just like white spruce, black spruce is not very fire resistant. The trees then can regenerate from seeds within cones that were dropped from the killed trees during the fire Takes around 5 years after the fire for a stand to reestablish itself. 9
10 Black Spruce Range Northern and Northeastern parts of the United States through Canada into Alaska Black Spruce & Wildlife Not an important browse/forage tree for wildlife Does provide important cover for wildlife such as whitetail deer, moose, caribou, and birds. Thank you THE END 10

Throughout his boyhood, Bob desired to live among the other trees, but alas he didn t fit in, for he was always much shorter and much shrubbier than his peers. The mistreatment Bob received in his childhood raised him to be quite tough and resilient. He decided the only way to prove he was superior to the larger, more handsome trees was to demonstrate his strength by living where few trees dared reside: rocky, nutrient deficient soil. Bob s plan worked flawlessly as he immediately took root, and although the barren soil kept him slight, he at least could accomplish something the others couldn t dream of doing. In the end, Bob was proud of himself for standing out from the pack and actually didn t mind being so small. Bob went on to reproducesuccessfully and his family lives happilyever after to 28
