Spruce trees are more likely to survive in areas with extreme changes in climate because, spruce trees are equipped with a thick cuticle that covers their needle-like leaves. this waxy cuticle that covers each needle prevents water loss from spruce and pine needles. because of this they are able to survive in cold months, and drastic weather changes, because they do not have to worry about water loss, like other trees. if you have ever noticed, in the winter maple trees have no leaves on them because they are not protected for winter months, while spruce and fir trees needles are still on the tree and look fresh, and not harmed, because they cannot lose water, keeping them healthy all year long.
