Black Spruce is a medium-sized coniferous tree that tolerates wet ground better than most - if not all - spruces.These qualities make Black Spruce an excellent tree for wet areas.
Black Spruce is known for its characteristic straight trunk and a narrow crown. This tree is distinctively narrow and upright in its growth and the needles smell distinctly like a Christmas tree. Black Spruce essential oil is currently quite popular.
