The Living Forest (401) : Norway Spruce

Sometimes when the day goes to sleep, the ultimate last glow of the sun puts the forest on fire…..

On the left side of my picture, a majestic Norway spruce dominates the area.
Its beautiful cones contain seeds after fertilization which are a basic food for squirrels and birds like woodpeckers and crossbills.

Dutch name : Fijnspar
German name : Gemeine Fichte
Latin name : Picea abies

Location : lake Gileppe (Jalhay, Belgium)

PS: Did you know that the oldest Norway spruce in the world is the “Old Tjikko”, located in Sweden and 9550 (!) years old.
(determination in 2008).
