the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, New Mexico, in subalpine scrub: narrow bands of shrubby and prostrate conifers at and just below timberline that are usually composed of Engelmann spruce ( Picea engelmannii ), bristlecone pine ( Pinus aristata ), limber pine ( P. flexilis ), and / or common juniper ( Juniperus communis ).

In the absence of low-level wildfire cycles, whitebark Pines in these stands are replaced by more shade-tolerant, fire-intolerant species such as Subalpine fir ( Abies lasiocarpa ) and Engelmann spruce ( Picea engelmannii ).

* Engelmann Spruce ( Picea engelmannii )

At low elevations, Douglas Fir is the most common tree for slopes, whereas Picea engelmannii and Pinus contorta occur in valley bottoms, with Abies grandis common below.

He is commemorated in the names of several plants, including Engelmann Spruce ( Picea engelmannii ), Apache Pine ( Pinus engelmannii ), and Engelmann's Prickly-pear ( Opuntia engelmannii ).

There is one known example of a Colorado Pinyon growing amongst Engelmann spruce ( Picea engelmannii ) and limber pine ( Pinus flexilis ) at nearly on Kendrick Peak in the Kaibab National Forest of northern Arizona.

The dominant tree species of this zone are Englemann Spruce ( Picea engelmannii subsp.

Picea engelmannii ( Engelmann spruce ) is a species of spruce native to western North America, from central British Columbia and southwest Alberta, southwest to northern California and southeast to Arizona and New Mexico ; there are also two isolated populations in northern Mexico.

Picea engelmannii, Engelmann spruce, hybridises and intergrades extensively with the closely related white spruce found further north and east in the Rocky Mountains, and to a lesser extent with the closely related Sitka spruce where they meet on the western fringes of the Cascades.

Unlike Picea engelmannii ( Engelmann Spruce ) in the same region, it does not reach the alpine tree-line.

P. pungens does not normally hybridize with other spruces, though limited hybridization occurs between it and Picea engelmannii.

The ecosystem around the lake is dominated by Engelmann Spruce ( Picea engelmannii ) and Subalpine Fir ( Abies lasiocarpa ), with some Limber Pine ( Pinus flexilis ) on exposed sites.

The wood varies by instrument, but Sitka Spruce ( Picea sitchensis ) is the most common wood used for the soundboard.

The woodland mix varies according to geography and climate so for example the Eastern Canadian forests ecoregion of the higher elevations of the Laurentian Mountains and the northern Appalachian Mountains in Canada is dominated by balsam fir Abies balsamea, while further north the Eastern Canadian Shield taiga of northern Quebec and Labrador is notably black spruce Picea mariana and tamarack larch Larix laricina.

Commercial pines are grown in plantations for timber that is denser, more resinous, and therefore more durable than spruce ( Picea ).

* Spruce ( Picea ) is used for the soundboards of musical instruments as well as in aviation construction.

This is the westernmost location for the range of Black Spruce, Picea mariana.

A spruce is a tree of the genus Picea (), a genus of about 35 species of coniferous evergreen trees in the Family Pinaceae, found in the northern temperate and boreal ( taiga ) regions of the earth.

The isthmus is mostly covered by coniferous forests formed by Scots pine ( Pinus sylvestris ) and Norway spruce ( Picea abies ), with numerous lakes ( e. g. Lake Sukhodolskoye and Lake Glubokoye ) as well as small grass low moors and Sphagnum peat bogs.

White spruce ( Picea glauca ) is eaten, but not preferred.

The vast majority of Gray Jays live where there is a strong presence of one or more of black spruce ( Picea mariana ), white spruce ( P. glauca ), Englemann spruce ( P. engelmanni ), jack pine ( Pinus banksiana ), or lodgepole pine ( P. contorta ).

Picea mariana ( Black Spruce ) is a species of spruce native to northern North America, from Newfoundland to Alaska, and south to northern New York, Minnesota and central British Columbia.

Picea mariana is a slow-growing, small upright evergreen coniferous tree ( rarely a shrub ), having a straight trunk with little taper, a scruffy habit, and a narrow, pointed crown of short, compact, drooping branches with upturned tips.

Norway Spruce ( Picea abies ) is a species of spruce native to Europe.

The original tree of the slow-growing spruce, Picea abies ' Clanbrassiliana ', which originated nearby in about 1750, remains and is the oldest tree in any arboretum in Ireland.

For example, the basionym of the name Picea abies ( the Norway Spruce ) is Pinus abies.

Picea sitchensis, the Sitka spruce, is a large coniferous evergreen tree growing up to 80 m tall, and with a trunk diameter of up to 5 m, exceptionally to 6 – 7 m diameter.

Picea omorika, the Serbian Spruce (, ), is a spruce, endemic to the Drina River valley in eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina near Višegrad and western Serbia, with a total range of only about 60 ha, between 800 – 1, 600 m altitude.

Species for which the Forest is important include red spruce ( Picea rubens ), balsam fir ( Abies balsamea ), and mountain ash ( Sorbus americana ).

Black spruce ( Picea mariana ) is usually tamarack's main associate in mixed stands on all sites.

It is generally found with oak ( Quercus ), birch ( Betula ), spruce ( Picea ), pine ( Pinus ), chestnut ( Castanea ) and alder ( Alnus ), with which it forms mycorrhizae.

Red spruce ( Picea rubens ) is the most common tree species on the summit.

*' Jeddeloh ' - a dwarf shrub reaching to 1 m high and 1. 5 m wide, showing a small concavity in the centre, it is an alternative to the bird's nest spruce ( Picea abies ' Nidiformis ').
