I found this Norway
Spruce early spring, along the Fallowfield loop. The tree is famously known
for being commonly used as the Christmas tree. This evergreen is a narrowly
conical tree on a slender, unbranching trunk – with rigid, needle – like leaves
arranged singly all-round the shoots, and narrow, leathery – scaled cones borne
near the ends of the shoots. Its male cones are small, yellowish, clustered
near tips of shoots. Its female cones grow up to 18cm long, narrowly oval and
pendulous. It thrives in sunlight, and acid or neutral well-drained soils.
