No, the spruce tree was not named after Richard Spruce. The name "spruce" is derived from the Old French term "Pruce," which referred to products from Prussia, where the trees were originally imported. Richard Spruce was a 19th-century botanist known for his work on the classification of plants, but he is not the namesake of the spruce tree.
