The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 6

Pinus picea, Du Roi.*(P. Abies, L.)

Pinus picea, Du Roi.*(P. Abies, L.)

Norway Spruce, Fichte, Middle and Northern Europe and Northern Asia; rising from the plains to an elevation of 4,500 feet, and forming extensive forests. The tree attains a height of 150 feet or even more, and furnishes an excellent timber for building and furniture; commonly known under the name of White Deal. It also produces the Burgundy Pitch in quantity, while the bark is used for tanning. Though enduring our dry summers, this spruce would have to be restricted for timber purposes to the damp mountains.
