Blue Spruce Tree

The Blue Spruce Tree 

 

 

 

This is another kind of conifer tree.

It is called the blue spruce.

 

Native Americans use the blue spruce tree for medicinal purposes and rituals.   The twig of  this tree was kept for good fortune.  The needles were boiled and used to aide the common cold and stomach aches.  This is what I researched for school, have you ever tried it?  Here are links for more info...
