The White Spruce Tree is a no-brainer when it comes to Christmas time. Its thick, light green needles create visual and textural interest for the holidays and beyond. It’s both attractive and practical with drought and cold tolerance, making it one of the most enticing trees out there. One of our favorite ways to use the White Spruce for the holidays?
