Plants/Trees in Appalachian Mountains\n\nSpruce, common name for a genus of about 40 species of coniferous trees, indigenous to the northern hemisphere, nearly half being natives of North America. The genus, of the pine family, was formerly combined with a fir genus, from which it differs in having pendulous cones, persistent woody leaf-bases, and four-angled leaves, scattered and pointing in every direction. Spruces occur farther north than most trees, forming forests within the Arctic Circle, and extending south, especially in the mountains, as far as the Pyrenees in Europe and the Himalayas in Asia; in the United States, spruces occur as far south as North Carolina and Arizona. The white spruce and black spruce cover extensive areas in Canada, almost to the total exclusion of other trees. In Europe the Norway spruce is similarly distributed; the timber is valuable for fuel and for house building and is exported from Norway and Sweden for masts and spars of sailing vessels.\n\nIn North America the prevailing species over the greatest extent of territory are the white spruce and the black spruce, although in lumbering the two species are seldom distinguished. The former is found from New York to British Columbia and northward to Newfoundland and Labrador, Hudson Bay, and Alaska. The white wood is light in weight, soft, compact, nearly odorless, and with scarcely distinguishable sapwood. It is used for general building purposes and also yields some of the spruce gum of commerce.\n\nThe black spruce has a distribution somewhat similar to that of the white, except that it descends along the mountains to Virginia. It is a somewhat smaller tree, but otherwise similar to the white spruce. It forms immense forests in Maine, New York, Canada, and elsewhere and is used largely for wood pulp and paper. A third species, the red spruce, a valuable timber tree, is limited essentially to New England but is also found along the Appalachians as far south as Georgia.

Geography sites for mountains and vegetation... let's see....  Well, Colorado has a lot of mountains, as do Switzerland and Chile.  From each of these, we get wheat, hops, and grapes.\n\nHope that helps!

Pine trees! Of course I love these trees, I'm from the Pine Tree State!\nMaples are also beautiful in the fall (and they're good climbing trees). Plus you get syrup from maples.\nFir and spruce trees are awesome because they smell like Christmas.\nApple trees are pretty in the spring, and they produce apples, of course (well...some do. We have a bunch of ancient apple trees at my house, and the apples are too small and green to eat, but they're fun to hit with golf clubs, and if you flick one off a sharp stick it will fly forver).\nI also love hemlocks. If you walk in the woods and come across a stand of hemlocks, it's really cool because they block out the sun and create a whole other world.

The trees of Huangshan, China are famous for their beauty. You'll notice that many of the trees growing naturally on the mountainsides look like bonsai -- perhaps they were the original inspiration for bonsai styling.

Gymnosperms have become less widespread than angiosperms because angiosperms have found ways to take advantage of animals for fertilization and seed dispersal. Angiosperms are not limited by wind and water the way most gymnosperms are. Oaks, for example, can "move" uphill through rodents and birds burying acorns; gymnosperms have more difficulty. And while redwoods are the tallest, bristlecones the oldest, they occupy only a fraction of their former range.
