Engelmann Spruce is an evergreen, native to the western Rocky Mountains of the United States. It is a conifer that grows steadily for about 300 years in high altitude areas, making it one of the longest-lived evergreens. Discovered by Dr. George Engelmann, botanist, who made a suitable botanical description and placed it in the correct genus. It was originally listed as Abies Engelmanni.
They produce edible tips very rich in Vitamin C and their wood is widely used in the paper industry, in construction and for soundboards of instruments. It also has uses as a Christmas bush.
The essential oil, like most Spruce, has cleansing, purifying, calming, energizing, balancing properties.

Very useful for respiratory disorders. From diluted in carrier oil for chest massages to or in a diffuser. It works very well for allergies in combination with Rosalina essential oil.
