Spruce / Tsuga, Wild: Canada (Tsuga canadensis)

Spruce, also known as Hemlock or Tsuga, is a conifer tree that has a long-life span and attains a height up to one hundred feet. Native to eastern North America, the oldest known Spruce tree is over five hundred years old. (This plant should not be confused with the flowering Hemlock plant, Conium maculatum, which is poisonous.) It has been thought that the Spruce and other conifer trees create a symbolic covering that protects the earth and brings energy in from the universe. Even the animals in the forest will lie down under a conifer tree for a sense of protection and rejuvenation that is provided from the tree’s branches.

Historically the Native American Indians considered the tree beneficial for spiritual awareness. They would use the twigs in sweat lodges, the resin for an insect repellant, the bark and twigs on wounds, muscles aches, and to make a tea. The essential oil is steam distilled from the twigs and leaves and has a pleasant forest-like smell. Spruce is also a popular ingredient in perfumes, soaps, and detergents.
