One of the best and easiest ways to tell the difference between a true spruce and fir tree is to look at the tree's cones. When mature, the cones on a fir tree stand straight up (point towards the sky) while the mature cones on a spruce grow down towards the ground from the bottom side of the branch. The way that I remember which grows up and which grows down is that I remember the "s" in spruce means that the cones "spray" the ground.
No, but they are both known as coniferous trees, which means they are cone bearing. They do have many similarities so they can be easily confused if you are not very familiar with dendrology (the study of trees).
As above all are conifers but firs are the Abies family and pines are of the Pinus family.
a maple tree is vascular and a pine tree is nonvasclar
Pin is generally denser and therefore harder of the two.
Pine is Pinus sp. while Fir is Abies sp. - two completely different species.
An oak is deciduous and a pine is an evergreen.
Pine, spruce and fir are evergreen.
The most popular trees are the balsam fir, Douglas fir, Fraser fir, noble fir, Scotch pine, Virginia pine, and white pine.
