Verbreitung
The species is distributed across North America from close to the northern limits of Alaska and British Columbia, east to Labrador, south to Maine, and west to Minnesota. It is also reported to occur in localized regions in northwestern Montana, South Dakota and Wyoming. White spruce thrives on various soil types, and is mostly found in coniferous forests, but sometimes in pure stands. It grows from sea level to near timberline at altitudes of 2000 to 5000 feet (610 to 1524 m). White spruce is also cultivated in Great Britain.

White to cream
Yellow to golden-yellow to orange
Pale brown
Pale red to pink
The wood is nearly white to pale yellowish brown. Woods produced by White, Red, Black, and Engelmann spruce are very similar in structure and cannot be differentiated with any degree of certainty. Differences in appearance and properties are mainly dependent upon growth rates of the different species
