Douglas Fir 
(Pseudotsuga douglasi) 
A rapid growing Fir with long, graceful branches and soft flexible, 
fragrant foliage. It grows in a narrow, pyramid shape. Stands crowd¬ 
ing very well and a considerable amount of shade. 
These trees vary somewhat in color, ranging from light green to 
dark green and some with bluish tint. This is the variety native to 
Colorado and the Rocky Mountain section, a different tree than the 
well-known Douglas Fir from the Pacific northwest. It ranks as a 
leader among all Evergreens of this type. It is not uncommon to find 
annual growth of two feet or more on established trees. Specimens 
eventually may reach 60 feet in size or more, with a wide spread of 
branches. It has a particularly
