Colorado Spruce Tree

Spruces are large trees, from about 35-50 feet tall when mature and have whorled branches and conical form.

Spruces are large trees, from about 35-50 feet tall when mature and have whorled branches and conical form. They can be distinguished from other members of the pine family by their needles (leaves), which are four-sided and attached singly to small persistent peg-like structures on the branches, and by their cones (without any protruding bracts), which hang downwards after they are pollinated.
