Brought
here from northern Europe, this tree has been widely planted
in North America. In Pittsburgh neighborhoods with deer feeding
problems, this tree is well suited because deer will not eat
it. It has the familiar “Christmas tree” shape
and features large, showy cones. It is an important timber
tree used in cabinetry, for sounding boards in violins, and
for pulpwood.
