White Spruce plug seedlings, approx 7-14″ tall
CLOSED for the summer, sales resume in late August 2024Picea glauca are excellent for use as windbreaks and privacy screens due to their generally thick growth combined with fast growth, an uncommon characteristic among evergreen trees. This species also tends to retain needles better than most other spruces, although that is not true once cut.
White Spruce are an important food source for grouse and other seed eating birds, as well as red squirrels [which I hate with every fiber of my being]. White Spruce are native to the northern United States and Canada, and are very tolerant of cold windy conditions, partial shade and wet soils such as stream banks and lake shores. Species habitat is generally from Indiana north, although they grow at higher elevations in lower states. They are the most northern species of tree in North America.
