Spruce
A
spruce is a
tree of the genus
Picea , a genus of about 35 species of
coniferous evergreen trees in the Family
Pinaceae, found in the northern
temperate and
boreal (
taiga) regions of the earth. Spruces are large trees, from about 20–60 metres (about 60–200 feet) tall when mature, and can be distinguished by their
whorled branches and
conical form. The needles, or leaves, of spruce trees are attached singly to the branches in a spiral fashion, each needle on a small peg-like structure called a
pulvinus. The needles are shed when 4–10 years old, leaving the branches rough with the retained pulvinus (an easy means of distinguishing them from other similar genera, where the branches are fairly smooth).
