Pseudotsuga menziesii var. glauca MT Flathead - Conifer - Flathead Douglas Fir Page

Pseudotsuga menziesii var. glauca or the Flathead Douglas Fir is a popular evergreen conifer species native to western North America. The common name honors Scottish botanist David Douglas, who first reported the extraordinary nature and potential of the species. It is not a true fir and is often written as Douglas-fir. The Flathead Douglas Fir is planted as a specimen tree or in mass screenings and is a popular choice as a Christmas tree. Its useful wood and quick growth make it the crop of choice for many timber companies. The seeds of the Douglas fir are also an important food source for small mammals. This variety grows in the inland regions of British Columbia and southeastward to the Mexican border, becoming increasingly disjunct as latitude decreases and its altitudinal limits increase.
