Other popular spruce Christmas trees include the white spruce (Picea glauca), which is known for its blue-green needles, and the blue spruce (Picea pungens), which is known for its silvery-blue needles.

Spruce trees are a popular choice for Christmas trees because they are relatively easy to care for and can last for several weeks indoors. They are also a good choice for people who are allergic to other types of Christmas trees, such as pine or fir.
