Spruce, White

WHITE SPRUCE  Picea glauca

• A hardy, adaptable evergreen native to all three prairie provinces, making it one of the most reliable conifers for cold, windy, and variable prairie conditions.
• Needles are short, stiff, and blue‑green to silvery, giving the tree a clean, classic evergreen appearance with excellent year‑round colour.
• Naturally forms a strong, symmetrical pyramidal shape with dense branching; requires no pruning to maintain structure.
• Exceptionally tolerant of wind, cold, and a wide range of soils—including clay, sandy loam, and slightly alkaline sites.
• Highly resistant to deer browsing and generally free of major pest issues, making it a dependable choice for both rural and urban landscapes.
• Excellent for shelterbelts, windbreaks, screening, or as a long‑lived specimen tree in open landscapes.
