Picea sitchensis,
the Sitka spruce, is a large, coniferous,
evergreen tree growing to almost
100 m (330 ft) tall,[2]
with a trunk diameter
at breast height that can exceed
5 m (16 ft). It is by far the
largest species of spruce and the
fifth-largest conifer in the world (behind giant
sequoia, coast redwood,
kauri, and western
redcedar);[3]
and the third-tallest conifer species (after
coast redwood and coast
Douglas fir). The Sitka spruce is one of
the few species documented
to reach 91 m (299 ft) in height.[4]
Its name is derived from the community of Sitka
in southeast Alaska, where it is prevalent.
Its range hugs the western coast of Canada and
continues into northernmost California.
The bark is thin and
scaly, flaking off in small, circular plates
5–20 cm (2.0–7.9 in) across. The
crown is broad conic in young trees, becoming
cylindric in older trees; old trees may not
have branches lower than 30–40 m
(98–131 ft). The shoots are very pale
buff-brown, almost white, and glabrous
(hairless), but with prominent pulvini.
The leaves are stiff, sharp,
and needle-like, 15–25 mm long, flattened
in cross-section, dark glaucous blue-green
above with two or three thin lines of stomata,
and blue-white below with two dense bands of
stomata. The cones are
pendulous, slender cylindrical, 6–10 cm
(2.4–3.9 in) long [5]
and 2 cm broad when closed, opening to
3 cm broad. They have thin, flexible
scales 15–20 mm long; the bracts just
above the scales are the longest of any
spruce, occasionally just exserted and visible
on the closed cones. They are green or
reddish, maturing pale brown 5–7 months after
pollination. The seeds are black, 3 mm
long, with a slender, 7–9 mm long pale
brown wing. From:
