SITKA SPRUCE (Picea sitchensis) Cell Grown Tree (WFT39)

£3.95

A vigorous tree commonly reaching a height of 120ft (35m).

Needles are long thin and sharp dark green above and blue green below.

The often maligned "factory tree" of British upland foresty, Sitka spruce has proved a valuable tree for many rural communities since it's large scale planting early in the 20th century.

Sitka requires plenty of moisture and thrives in the wetter areas of western Britain where conditions resemble those of its native home on the west coast of America.

The white or pale brown wood is light but strong.

It has long fibres for paper making.

Small cell grown tree supplied approx 15-40cm
