About Douglas-fir

Douglas-fir is a wonderful native tree that brings real beauty to any yard. These evergreens stay green all winter long, which is lovely when everything else turns brown and gray. They grow tall and stately, with soft needles and attractive cones that wildlife absolutely loves. Birds and small animals rely on Douglas-firs for food and shelter throughout the year, so planting one helps support your local ecosystem. You'll feel good watching nature thrive right in your own space.

Growing Douglas-firs is straightforward. They're tough trees that naturally thrive in our region and don't need fussing over. Plant yours in a spot where it gets full sun and plenty of light to grow its best. Once established, it's a low-maintenance tree that will reward you for years to come. You're making a smart choice by planting a native.
