Characteristic and wood color
Sapwood and heartwood are hardly distinguishable. There is no heartwood colouration. Only in northern Europe and in humid locations the heart is slightly reddish. The wood is very light yellowish-brown, often almost whitish and without any special markings. It has a light, natural shine. The annual rings are strongly marked by the difference between the lighter early and darker late wood. Spruce differs mainly from fir by fine, but not very numerous resin ducts, which are difficult to detect. The grain is very straight throughout, the texture is medium coarse to fine and even.
