The bug
Spruce trees are broken. Not only that they are broken when grown by saplings (MC-177412), they can even generate naturally in broken state.
How to reproduce
Start a new buffet world using following biomes: Mountains, Taiga, Giant Tree Taiga, Snowy Tundra or Snowy Taiga
Wander around
→ ❌ Spruce trees can generate very small or too big.
Too small - it is just 3 or 4 logs with less than 10 leaves on it
Too big - large spruce tree with even 4 tiers.

Can someone please reopen MC-177412? That one is a separate issue
This bug was not fixed in 20w22a! I still see super tiny spruce trees in my world. Should be reopened.
It's not. I also created a new world and saw a tiny spruce tree. This bug is not fixed. Created MC-187208.
Confirmed not fixed in 20w22a.
Single Biome Snowy Taiga
Seed: 7097036058955889265

MC-177412 also persists
Still not fixed. There are 2 spruce tree with "4 tiers" that still exist. Use the seed 48548231851577625 and run the following command:
/tp @p -398 76 -161 180 0/tp @p -731 82 735 180 -8These trees never existed in 1.15.2, after exploring a taiga for 15 minutes. If these trees no longer spawned, this would definitely be fixed.
I have found an incorrect spruce tree. Should create a new ticket? These small spruces do not generate anymore, but 4-tiered still generate, though very rarely.

Not only that, spruce tree generation in general has been derped up. I attached some screenshots of spruce trees that have seen better days.
