A common Christmas tree and landscaping tree that is widely planted around homes and along city streets. Victim of the Spruce Budworm and needle fungus, so not planted as much anymore. Very susceptible to cytospora canker, which invades stressed trees, causing loss of branches and eventual death. Will grow in a wide variety of soils, but prefers moist and well drained. Slow growing, some living up to 600 years. Very sharp needles, square in cross section. The species name <i>pungens</i> is Latin for “sharp-pointed.” Also known as Blue Spruce or Silver Spruce.</p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p>
