Douglas Fir |
|
|
| First studied by Scottish botanist David Douglas in the 1820's, this conifer is widely distributed throughout western North America from the interior lake county of British Columbia to the mountains of Mexico. Found in central Rockies, the hardy "blue" strain is widely used as a Christmas tree in the Northeast. Its lush, blue-green foliage with needles about one inch in length is very attractive. Its sturdy branching and outstanding needle retention make this evergreen a holiday favorite. |
