NORWAY SPRUCE
(Piced erceLsd)

FLOWERS: Staminate cones
(male), yellow, appearing in May
at end of the twigs; pistillate cones
(female), green to purple, found
higher on tree, mature in Fall as
light brown cones to Z inches
long.
FRUIT: Unlike pine, seeds mature
in a single season; cones release
winged seeds in late winter and
early spring.
WILDLIFE USE: Seeds eaten by
several species of birds, squirrels
and chipmunks; foliage and twigs
browsed by rabbits and deer; trees
make excellent nesting, roosting,
and winter cover.
OTHER VALUES: Pulp, lumber,
ornamental tree, hedges, farm
windbreaks and shelterbelts, and
Christmas tree.
