Picea Glauca - Uses

Uses

White spruce is of major economic importance in Canada for its wood, harvested for paper-making. It is also used to a small extent as a Christmas tree.

The wood is also exported to Japan where, known as "shin-kaya", it is used to make go boards as a substitute for the rare kaya wood.

White spruce is the provincial tree of Manitoba and the state tree of South Dakota.
