This often contrasts with the deep green color of the upper side of fir tree foliage. It can be difficult to differentiate between pine, fir, and spruce trees based solely on the bark. However, noting the type of cones, types of needles, and the bark color are all good for identifying purposes.

This passion is detrimental to me, for you do not reflect that youare the cause of its excess. If any being felt emotions of benevolence towards me, I should return them a hundred and a hundredfold; for that one creature's sake I would make peace with the whole kind! But I now indulge in dreams of bliss that cannot be realised. What I ask of you is reasonable and moderate; I demand a creature of another sex, but as hideous as myself; the gratification is small, but it is all that I can receive, and it shall content me. It is true, we shall be monsters, cut off from all the world; but on that account we shall be more attached to one another. Our lives will not be happy, but they will be harmless and free from the misery I now feel. Oh! My creator, make me happy; let me feel gratitude towards you for one benefit! Let me see that I excite the sympathy of some existing thing; do not deny me my request!" You propose," replied I, "to fly from the habitations of man, to dwell in those wilds where the beasts of the field will be your only companions. How can you, who long for the love and sympathy of man, persevere in this exile? You will return and again seek their kindness, and you will meet with their detestation; your evil passions will be renewed, and you will then have a companion to aid you in the task of destruction. This may not be; cease to argue the point, for I cannot consent."

What about the difference between a fir and spruce tree? Again, needle types are the key to identification. Spruce needles have four sides and they roll easily between your fingers. Fir needles are flat and if they don’t roll easily, chances are it is a fir tree, not a pine or spruce. Identifying Spruce, Pine or Fir Based on their Needles In 2005, a batch of wollemi pines was sent from Australia to Kew for hardiness trials. They were grown in soils with differing pH values. Those planted in acidic soil did the best. In this article, you will learn how to identify many types of conifers.

But this relief is coupled with suspicion. Gruesome murders have been happening in the forest surrounding the town. As Tuva begins reporting on the cases for the local newspaper, just about all the locals seem like potential killers. There are Alice and Cornelia, two strange sisters who make a living carving “craft” trolls to which they attach real hair (in all places), eyes and fingernails. There’s David, a reclusive ghost writer who cooks calf heads in his strangely spotless home. There’s Viggo the taxi driver, whose son is terrified of a room in his house he only says contains “games”. There’s Bengt, an anti-hunting vegetarian hoarder who’s had to move into a caravan because his house is so full of rubbish. There’s Hannes the rich mill boss, who has a mafia-like hold over the town.
