Douglas Fir

Douglas Fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) is often considered to be a close contender with the Californian Coastal Redwood for the title of tallest tree - growing to around 100m in height. It grows natively in Northern California, Oregon, Washington State and into British Columbia in Canada.

The Douglas Fir is relatively easy to grow from seed, but may require a short period of cold stratification to help break any dormancy within the seeds.
