An Original Poem By Neil Madisen

Latin name Picea abies,
The Norway Spruce hails from over seas.
A tall and mighty evergreen tree,
It would not be, without mycorrhizae.

It houses many woodland creatures,
And has a few distict features.
Towering and wide with two types of cones,
Dangling branches, and wood stronger than bone.

A perfect specimen of phyla coniferophyta,
A friend to you and me, and the rest of Unikonta.
