By combining geometric singular perturbation theory (GSPT) with qualitative method, this paper analyzes the phenomenon of successive canard explosions in a singularly perturbed Spruce-Budworm model with Holling-II functional response. We select suitable parameters such that the critical curve is $S$-shaped, and the full model only admits a unique equilibrium. Then, under the variation of the breaking parameter, it is found that a canard explosion followed by an inverse canard explosion successively occurs in this model. That is, a relaxation oscillation arises via the first canard explosion, which persists for a large interval of parameter until it vanishes via the so-called inverse canard explosion. All these theoretical predictions are verified by numerical simulations.
