Spruce gum can be obtained from spruce trees, particularly from species like the Black Spruce or White Spruce. To harvest it, look for resinous areas on the tree's bark, where you can carefully scrape or collect the hardened gum. Additionally, some specialty shops or online retailers may sell spruce gum products, often used for chewing or in herbal remedies. Always ensure that collection is done sustainably and in accordance with local regulations.

Howard Hughes, president of Hughes Aircraft Corporation, flew his plane, The H-4 Hercules nicknamed the Spruce Goose, in 1947.
