Pseudotsuga menziesii

• Grow your own Douglas Fir, the world's second tallest tree species and the official state tree of Oregon!
  
• Bulk tree deal for landscaping projects, windbreaks, restoration and reforestation work, and other large-scale plantings
• Seed-grownon California's Redwood Coast
• Transplanting and care instructions included
  

Nursery Note: These trees, while entirely healthy and vibrant, represent stock that didn't quite meet our standards for "Grade A" material — usually meaning that they lack a true leader, have an odd form, or were munched by a deer at some point. If you're patient enough to grow these out of this awkward phase (they're just babies, after all!) or are perhaps looking to build a bonsai collection, this could be the perfect deal for you.

Tree Story

About Douglas Fir

Douglas Fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) is one of the world's most impressive trees. One noted naturalist called Douglas Fir "the highest expression of tree greatness in our time." Indeed, the Douglas Fir species forms some of the tallest and most magnificent forests in the world, dominating millions of square miles of wild forest in the West, from Alaska to Mexico. Except for California's unique Sequoias, Douglas Fir grows taller and greater in girth than any other American tree. The tallest Douglas Fir on record, now felled, stood almost 400 feet tall with a diameter in excess of 17 feet. These long-living trees can survive to ages greater than 1,000 years, and have a rapid growth rate. This species has long ranked first among U.S. lumber trees.

Widely cultivated as an ornamental in Europe, Douglas Fir, with its sweet fragrance and wonderful symmetry, is cherished in America as a prime Christmas Tree species. It is the official State Tree of Oregon and a hardy and well-traveled tree, which can thrive virtually anywhere in the world, provided adequate sunlight and moisture. Douglas Fir seedlings can handle almost any kind of soil or climate, and, ultimately, these trees become huge, incredibly tall, great-in-girth individuals, with soft, densely-set needles (to 1.5 inches long) radiating in all directions from the branches. The foliage has a distinct, pleasant fragrance, and the cones are highly unique, with unmistakable, conspicuously protruding trident bracts.

Due to the dynamic nature of actively growing trees, as well as the tremendous variation between species’ growth rates, we rely on the cubic volume of a seedling’s root mass to determine its “size” (Small / Medium / Large / XL). Within each size there is minor variance — the dimensions provided here represent the category minimum. If exact measurements are essential, please contact us about current stock.
