Picea meyeri, also known as Meyer's spruce, is a type of evergreen tree found in parts of China. It can grow up to 30 meters tall and has a trunk diameter of 0.8 meters. The leaves are needle-like and bluish-green in color, while the cones are cylindrical and mature to a pale brown color. This species is closely related to the dragon spruce and is sometimes planted as an ornamental tree. Its popularity is increasing in the eastern United States as a replacement for the Blue Spruce, which is more susceptible to disease in that region. While the wood of Picea meyeri is similar to other spruces, it is not commonly used for economic purposes due to its rarity.
