Summary

Tall, medium-sized to sometimes massive, monoecious evergreen trees, with strongly whorled branches and a typically conical, tapering crown. Tree crowns are symmetric, often slender and spire-like, their branch systems short and eventually mostly markedly down-sweeping, with the tips level or upcurving. Crowns bear with age elongate female cones hanging pendulously from near the uppermost branch tips. Unlike Abies, leaves of Picea fall eventually from their shoots (abundantly so if dried), leaving peg-like pulvini covering the shoots.
