Picea mariana x rubens (Black x Red Spruce Hybrid)

This is a hybrid between the two spruce species black and red spruce. This is an evergreen, coniferous tree that may reach mature heights of 100 feet with a trunk in ideal conditions. The crown is thin and conical. The outside of the bark is gray-brown, while the interior is red-brown. It's scaly and skinny. Twigs are thick, yellow-brown in colour, and have a densely pubescent to glabrous texture. Leaves are needle-like, yellow-green in hue, and long. They are four-sided, curled, and sharply pointed, and they protrude from all sides of the twig. Seed cones are cylindrical in form and feature firm scales and a glossy red-brown hue. The cones are dangling from the trees.
