Yes and no, it depends on how much work you think you are going to have to dedicate to making it into a bonsai. All Spruce are potentially good but they all have very flexible wood which makes training with wire difficult.

One of the Cultivars of White Spruce is the Alberta Spruce so popular in landscape settings.
