Picea chihuahuana, or the Chihuahua spruce, is a medium-sized evergreen tree native to northwest Mexico. It grows in mountain valleys at altitudes of 2300-3200m, with bark that flakes off in small circular plates and a conic crown with widely spaced branches and drooping branchlets. The leaves are needle-like, 17-23mm long, and bright glaucous blue-green with conspicuous lines of stomata. The cones are pendulous, broad cylindrical, 7-12cm long and 3cm broad when closed, opening to 4-5cm broad. Discovered in 1942 by the Mexican botanist Maximino Martínez, it is endangered with just 25 small populations, none comprising more than a few hundred trees. It is starting to be planted as an ornamental tree in botanical gardens, particularly valued in warm areas as it is one of the most heat-tolerant of all spruces.
