Douglas Fir

Pseudotsuga menziesii

 

Seedlings are 3-4 years old, 12-16 inches tall.

 

The Douglasfir grows to a height of 40–70' and a spread of 12–20' at maturity.

Full sun and partial shade are best for this tree, meaning it prefers a minimum of four hours of direct, unfiltered sunlight each day.

The Douglasfir prefers acidic or neutral soil that is well-drained.  Though it can be found in its native habitat of rocky mountain slopes, it is sensitive to drought.
