Douglas Fir

Also known as Douglas Spruce, Oregon Pine, Columbian Pine

These towering giants dominate the forests of western North America, anchoring entire ecosystems with their massive trunks and thick, fire-resistant bark. Their distinctive cones feature unique, three-pointed bracts that resemble the hind legs and tail of a mouse hiding beneath each scale. As keystone species, they provide critical nesting habitat for endangered spotted owls and support vast underground networks of beneficial fungi.
