Spruce

Picea mariana/nigra  (Black Spruce) distilled from the needles and twigs. Spruce is a favorite of mine to add to blends or use on its own. Black spruce is one of the most common types of spruce tree used for making essential oil, although there are others such as Blue spruce (Picea pungens), common spruce (Picea abies) and white spruce (Picea glauca). 

 Another variety is Tsuga canadensis  (Canadian or Hemlock Spruce).
