Big White Spruce (Picea glauca) in Ottawa
Big White Spruce (Picea glauca) in Ottawa
I thought I'd share this nice White Spruce (Picea glauca) that I found today in rich mesic woods near Constance Bay (west Ottawa). 103' tall by 79.5" CBH. Second tallest example of the species that I've found in eastern Ontario.

Wow!! This tree virtually ties the NTS height record of 103.3'!
If this is the second tallest you've measured, what's the tallest?!

Hi Matt:
this one was an emergent tree at the forest's edge from a mature Hemlock grove on rich mesic clay/loam, near Russell Ontario. It was a little taller; I had measured it to about 110'. I returned later to photograph the tree, and found that it had blown over. It was vigorous to the end; it had put on about 5" in height in its final growing season
