The Sitka spruce got its name from Sitka, a city on Baranof Island in Alaska, where the tree was first documented by European naturalists. The species' scientific name, Picea sitchensis, reflects this geographic origin, with "sitchensis" derived from the local Tlingit name for the tree. It is known for its tall stature and resilience, making it an important species in coastal ecosystems.
