Distribución
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.
