Interesting choice of terms!  Both trees are spruce and Picea abies is, 
of course, common Norway Spruce.  It should be readily available in the 
US and certainly is in this area of Ontario where it was introduced by 
German settler/farmers.  Picea excelsa is the same tree, just from a 
different area of Europe. See: http://www.lutherie.net/eurospruce.html 
for a discussion.

If, IF, you have a microscope with a measuring scale in it.  You can 
count the number of tiny teeth per cm on a needle of P. abies and, using 
a published table,find out the provenance of the tree. I am sorry, but I 
do not have a reference for this activity.
