White spruce is a medium sized conifer with cone – shaped crown and spreading branches, making it a good ornamental. They can reach an age of 300 years. Needles are somewhat crowded on the upper half of the branch lets. Needles are 4 – sided and usually ½” – ¾” long, blunt at the tip and green to bluish green in color. Cones are slender about 1 ¼”- 2” long. White spruce is tolerant of some shade.

Christmas trees: Not recommended. Needle retention is poor on cut trees.
