Picea abies
Spruce trees are tall evergreens with sharp, needle-like leaves. They stay green all year round and provide homes for birds and squirrels.
Hábitat: Forests
The Spruce has a distinct conical shape with sharply pointed, dark green needles that are individually attached to its woody branches. Its rough, scaly bark is typically brown or grayish, and its oblong cones hang downwards, which helps distinguish it from similar conifer trees.
