Douglas Fir | Scientific Name: Pseudotsuga menziesii

Also known as Coast Douglas-fir, Oregon Pine, Oregon Douglas-fir, Douglas Tree, Interior Douglas-fir, this is not a fir at all but 'Pseudotsuga' or "False Hemlock" named after the Scottish botanist, David Douglas, who introduced many native conifers to Europe. The foliage is blue-green to dark green with fragrant and friendly needles (the boughs are soft to the touch when you run your hand up and down the tree).

White Fir | Scientific Name: Abies concolor

The White Fir is known as the most beautiful of the firs. Its foliage is a bluish-green, with the needles curved upwards on the twigs. The bluish hue of the needles are the reason for this tree's appeal. The needles also give off a pleasant citronella odour when crushed. Back to Top

Noble Fir | Scientific Name: Abies procera

The Noble Fir is deep green in color and has unusually lovely branch shape. Boughs of this tree are often made into fresh wreaths. Its branches are sturdy yet the needles are not too sharp to decorate easily. Like the Fraser Fir, the Noble's branches have good spacing between branches so it's easy to hang ornaments on them.
