White Spruce have a wide range from New England to Alaska and most of Canada.  In Michigan, they are primarily found in the upper half of the Lower Peninsula and throughout the U.P..  White Spruce are the northern most evergreen species in North America.

They are sometimes used as Christmas Trees, but most often used in windbreaks and for visual screening,  White Spruce should be used in place of the commonly planted Colorado Blue Spruce because they are more pest free and thrive better in Michigan as a native species adapted to our area.  These adaptable trees do well in cultivation and typically thrive in both suburban and rural areas.

A grouping of white Spruce provides great winter shelter for animals and their seeds are eaten by many species of birds.
