Douglas-fir
Pseudotsuga menziesii
Douglas-fir is a majestic evergreen conifer that grows best in full sun to partial shade with deep, well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Water young trees regularly during the first few years to establish a strong root system, then they become largely self-sufficient. It makes an impressive landscape specimen or windbreak and provides important wildlife habitat.
