Spruce trees grow better in the northern hemisphere. This is because they need colder winters and they need snowy weather making it easier to grow in the northern hemisphere.
Spruce trees struggle to compete with maple trees in southern forests primarily due to differences in climate tolerance and resource requirements. Spruce are more adapted to cooler, moist environments, while maples thrive in warmer, drier conditions typical of southern regions. Additionally, maple trees often have a faster growth rate and better ability to utilize sunlight, allowing them to outcompete spruce for light and nutrients in these ecosystems. As a result, maples can dominate the forest canopy, leaving spruce at a disadvantage.
If you live in Southern California, you would be better off not using spruce since it has no resistence to drywood termites.
Taiga forests are found in the northern hemisphere, primarily in Canada, Russia, and Scandinavia. They are characterized by cold winters, short summers, and coniferous trees such as spruce, pine, and fir.
Spruce trees are native to the Northern Hemisphere, mainly found in North America and Eurasia. They are typically found in cold and temperate regions, such as boreal forests and mountainous areas. Spruce is commonly used for construction, paper production, and musical instruments.

ANSWER: Coniferous forests
Yes, polar climates do have trees, specifically in the northern polar regions where there are forests known as boreal or taiga forests. These forests consist of cold-hardy tree species like spruce, fir, and pine adapted to survive the harsh conditions of the polar climate.
Yes. They do grow in forests. I have seen them myself in the forest and I am a tree scientist myself.
The Rain Forests are found throughout the north and southern heimspheres and are classified by the amount of rainfall that falls during the rainy season which is about 1750-2000 mm (68-78 inches) annually. These forrests are usually dominated by hardwood (leafy) trees. The Boreal (called The Taiga in Europe/Asia) Forest is one long strip of softwood dominated forest that collectively covers 1.7 billion acres. It can also be split into two separate forests the Northern Boreal and Southern Boreal. The North is dominated by black spruce, jack pine and larch, while the South is dominated by trembling aspen, white birch, balsam poplar and white spruce. The climax species for this forest is the White Cedar.
North America has the largest area of coniferous forests, particularly in Canada and the northern United States. These forests are dominated by trees such as pine, spruce, fir, and cedar, and play a vital role in the ecosystem by providing habitat for various species and helping regulate the climate.
Aspen and poplar forests or rather, deciduous forests. There's always a transition zone of spruce and deciduous (which include aspen and poplar trees) before going right to straight deciduous/hard-wood forests.
Evergreen trees are generally found in both the northern and southern hemispheres. They are well-adapted to colder climates and can be found in regions with temperate or subarctic climates in both hemispheres. Examples include coniferous trees like pine, spruce, and fir.
