Red Spruce can be easily damaged by windthrow and acid rain.

Work soon commenced on logging out the Red Spruce trees, which grew in the higher elevations.

Red Spruce is used for Christmas trees and is an important wood used in making paper pulp.

Red Spruce is the Provincial tree of Nova Scotia.

Picea rubens - Red Spruce.

Red Spruce, the spruce component of the spruce fir ecosystem, has also been suffering declines.

Much of the range's once-famous Red Spruce and Fraser Fir trees are dead or dying due in part to the pollution.

The WVP&P originally had only been interested in the Red Spruce timber for the purpose of making pulp, which would be turned into paper.

As stated, Sitka and Norway spruce are the main hosts, but A. abietis galls can be found on Colorado blue, white, and red spruces.

Red Spruce Trail is about one mile (1.6 km) long and goes from the camping area to the Forty Maples Picnic Area.

Some luthiers use Adirondac Spruce, also known as Red Spruce (Picea rubens), in high end instruments.

Red Spruce, Black Spruce and Balsam Fir are the most common species harvested after it matures in approximately 30 to 40 years.

Air pollution and acid rain are also believed to be stunting the growth of red spruces (especially since the spruce-fir zones are often immersed in clouds), although to what extent is debatable.

While Red Spruce is common in both upland and bog habitats, Balsam Fir, as well as Black Spruce and Tamarack, are more characteristic of the latter.

Eastern Canada (Saskatchewan and east), comprising timber from the Red Spruce, Black Spruce, Jack Pine, and Balsam Fir species.

The WVP&P set up a new town here, with about 30 company houses, a large company store, a school, and a pulp mill, where the Red Spruce trees could be processed on the spot.

K. gracilis has been recorded feeding on the roots of Quaking Aspen, White Spruce and Yellow Birch but is especially associated with Balsam Fir and Red Spruce.

Fraser Fir is confined to the highest parts of the southern Appalachian Mountains, where along with Red Spruce it forms a fragile ecosystem known as the Southern Appalachian spruce-fir forest.

The USDA study noted that only 3 percent of Red Spruce (Picea rubens) and 1 percent of Hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) that were injured by sapsuckers succumbed to their wounds.

The two trees can be distinguished by their needles and cones, with Fraser firs having blunt-shaped needles and upright cones and red spruces having prickly four-cornered needles and cones pointing downward.

Species represented there include Eastern Hemlock, White Pine, Red Spruce, and hardwoods such as Yellow Birch, Sweet Birch, American Beech, American Basswood, and White Ash.

Along with Fraser Fir, Red Spruce is one of two primary tree types in the Southern Appalachian spruce-fir forest, a distinct ecosystem found only in the highest elevations of the Southern Appalachian Mountains.

Common trees showing Krumholtz formation include Balsam Fir, Red Spruce, Black Spruce, Subalpine Fir, Subalpine Larch, Engelmann Spruce, Limber Pine, and Lodgepole Pine.

This is a rather common occurrence in Red Spruce trees of the highest peaks of the central, even southern Appalachian Mountains, and is most commonly seen in the wind-swept high peaks and plateaus of the Allegheny Mountains.

Air pollution may be contributing to increased Red Spruce tree mortality at higher elevations and oak decline at lower elevations, while invasive hemlock woolly adelgids attack Hemlocks and balsam woolly adelgids attack Fraser Firs.

Red spruce (Picea rubens) is the most common tree species on the summit.

The forests around the cliffs are dominated by red spruce (Picea rubens).

In the Northeast, red spruce (Picea rubens) can be a minor canopy associate.

Red spruce (Picea rubens) and Fraser fir (Abies fraseri) dominate the forest canopy.

Some luthiers use Adirondac Spruce, also known as Red Spruce (Picea rubens), in high end instruments.

It is often associated with Tsuga canadensis, Betula lenta, Ilex montana, Picea rubens, and Rhododendron maximum.

The spruce-fir forest consists primarily of two conifer species- red spruce (Picea rubens) and Fraser fir (Abies fraseri).

Red spruce (Picea rubens) is very stiff and imparts a very strong fundamental response making it ideal for heavy, bluegrass "flat-picking" and other energetic styles of playing.

The distribution of the salamander primarily lies adjacent to areas of red spruce (Picea rubens) and Fraser's fir (Abies fraseri) forests at these high elevations.

It occurs there in the understory of red spruce (Picea rubens) and balsam or Fraser fir (Abies balsamea or A. fraseri).

Natural hybridization occurs regularly with the closely related Picea rubens (Red Spruce), and very rarely with Picea glauca (White Spruce).

Many of these windswept cliff-edge outcrops are sparsely vegetated, with occasional one-sided (flagged) red spruce (Picea rubens) trees, and open habitats dominated by various low-growing Appalachian and boreal plant species.

Other plants in the area include Echinacea tennesseensis, Juniperus virginiana, Petalostemon gattingeri, Sporobolus vaginiflorus, Dalea foliosa, Arabis perstellata ampla, Thuja occidentalis, and Picea rubens.

The larvae feed on Picea glauca, Picea mariana, Picea rubens, Abies balsamea, Abies fraseri, Tsuga canadensis, Pinus and Larix species.

The prevalence in the canopy of red pine (Pinus resinosa) and red spruce (Picea rubens) distinguish the transition forests of New England from those in the Great Lakes region to the west.

The USDA study noted that only 3 percent of Red Spruce (Picea rubens) and 1 percent of Hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) that were injured by sapsuckers succumbed to their wounds.

Native American traditional uses The name "Adirondack" is an Iroquois word which means tree-eater and referred to their neighbors (more commonly known as the Algonquians) who collected the inner bark of this tree, Picea rubens, and others during times of winter starvation.
