Language: Chi; Chinese; Ger

Wikipedia Abstract

Picea morrisonicola, the Taiwan spruce, is a species of conifer in the Pinaceae family. It is found only in Taiwan, and it is the only species of spruce in Taiwan. Taiwan spruce is a large tree, up to 50 m (160 ft) in height and 1.5 m (4 ft 11 in) in diameter. It grows at altitudes of about 2,000–2,500 m (6,600–8,200 ft) in the Central Mountain Range in ravines and mountain slopes, usually mixed with other trees. Taiwan spruce is one of the most important timber species in Taiwan. Populations have declined because of overexploitation.
