Firewhirl: Black Spruce Description Archives

Black Spruce Description

I was reading an article about Alaska wildfires and its effects on the boreal forest (from Sitnews.us), when I came across a description of the flammability of black spruce:

The resilient black spruce is the most flammable tree in the boreal forest; one fire official called it "gasoline on a stick."

Apparently, they burn pretty hot - hehehe.

The rest of the article is actually pretty interesting too.
