Around House & Home

The white spruce is a favoured tree for use in landscaping due to its colour, short stiff needles and good natural shape. It has an elegant pleasing form.

White spruce is a popular Christmas tree because of its cone-shaped crown and spreading branches. It takes 7 years for a nursery transplant to grow to a height of 2 metres.

Industrial Usage

The wood of the white spruce is light, straight-grained and flexible. While it is an important commercial tree for pulpwood and construction lumber it is also used for specialty items such as sounding boards, paddles, oars, and boxes.

Characteristically odourless & tasteless, white spruce wood is suitable for food containers too.
