- Synopsis
- In this image of a spruce tree, the trunk stems from the bottom centre of the page and the leafy branches are in the middle of the page. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. There is a picture of some spruce needles in the top left and a picture of a spruce cone in the top right of the page. The needle leaf stem is to the top right of the needles themselves. The cone is similarly positioned. For scale there is a 'stick man' representing the height of an adult person in the bottom right of the page. A lot of spruce is now grown commercially in Britain for various uses. It prefers a cool environment and will grow in areas where other crops would not thrive. It is the preferred choice for a Christmas tree despite being very unsuitable as it is intolerant of the climate indoors, and readily sheds needles onto the carpet! The seeds are held in the pine cone, which is shown on the page. It can live for well over 200 years in the right conditions.
