White spruce adapts to a surprising variety of environments and climates. It is one of our most wide-spread coniferous trees.
It prefers moist, well-drained alluvial soil, but grows on a wide diversity of sites.
White spruce is rarely found in pure stands. Almost white, its wood is soft, light-weight, and moderately strong with a straight grain. Like other species of spruce, this wood does not absorb preservatives well.
White spruce is of great importance to the construction and pulp and paper industries.
Medium to large-sized, averaging 18 m (60 ft) high, evergreen conifer with a relatively uniform, conical crown. Branches spread slightly downward. Branchlets slender, light brown or pale, sometimes glaucous, hairless. Needles borne on woody pegs. Trunk bark thin, gray-brown in color, smooth, later flaky or scaly.
Prevalent throughout the Northern US States and Canada. Good growth requires a dependable supply of well-aerated water, yet the species will tolerate a wide range of moisture conditions. It will not tolerate stagnant water that reduces the rooting volume. On the other hand, white spruce will grow on dry sites if they are fertile. Rarely occurrs in pure stands; mostly mixed with black spruce, balsam fir and trembling aspen.
