A dense uniform evergreen suitable as a specimen or in groups as an effective screen or windbreak in cold northern climates.
Native to Ontario and other parts of North America. The white spruce is native to the boreal forests of North America, from central Alaska, east to Newfoundland, south to Montana and east to Maine in the United States. White spruce is the northernmost tree species in North America, reaching as far north as the Mackenzie River delta.
The seeds provide high-energy food for squirrels and other small mammals, as well as many species of birds. In the wild, porcupines and bears enjoy the bark. The tree hosts numerous insects, which feed birds.
