Plants in Mount Royal - Maria Cabral

To find the white spruce (Picea glauca) on OneZoom, select Eukaryotes > Plants, alveolates, brown algae, and more > Green plants > Land plants > Vascular plants > Seed Plants > Pinaceae > Spruce > White Spruce.

One adaptation that all of my observations have in common is the ability to survive the cold Montreal winters. Although the plants have likely been able to survive cold winters for quite some time now, they are still continually adapting and improving to this environment. The benefits of this adaptation are still being observed today.

One unique adaptation of the white spruce is that it has needles rather than leaves. These needles are able to withstand harsh weather conditions, so the tree does not need to use energy to regrow its leaves come springtime.
