Spruce trees are evergreen conifers in the genus Picea. The needles are found individually on branches and have four sides, distinguishing them from pines and firs. The needles are typically blue to green in color and have a pleasant, woody fragrance. Spruce cones are produced in a two-year cycle and have a papery, flexible feel. These trees often have a conical shape and make lovely Christmas trees.
