Product Information:

The Douglas Fir tree is a faster growing evergreen tree native to the Pacific Northwest of the United States including Wyoming and was an important resource for Native American Indians.  It continues to be a highly valued tree for especially the lumber industry and many other uses. The Rocky Mountain variety is winter hardy to Zone 4 and its popularity has led to it being planted worldwide.  This tree is widely planted and harvested throughout the world for lumber and Christmas trees, but makes for a good wind break or privacy screen in smaller venues as well.  Additionally, the bluish/green needles with its denser growth habit also make it an excellent choice in landscaping. The Douglas Fir also is a large wildlife attraction for many species of birds and small mammals who enjoy its seeds and foliage.
