The UDA's "PLANTS" database records Picea mariana as far south as the Alleghenies in southern Pennsylvania (see http://plants.usda.gov/java/county?state_name=Pennsylvania&statefips=42&symbol=PIMA). (Also northeastern Illinois, northern New Jersey, and northern Rhode Island and Connecticut.) I'd simply adjust our description of the range, but doing so would contradict the next sentence in the article because in these more southern areas the black spruce's habitat is not really taiga--it grows in isolated stands mostly in bogs and around the edges of kettle ponds. 65.213.77.129 (talk) 14:39, 25 February 2010 (UTC)Reply
