Please click on logo to return to catalog PSEUDOTSUGA DOUGLAS FIR Menziesii Coast Douglas Fir The Douglas Fir or Pseudotsuga menziesii is a tall tree, 100 meters, with a pyramidal crown when young turning very broad in old age. Its native habitat is British Colombia to California and western Texas. The needles have an aroma of camphor or pineapple when crushed. It was introduced into Britain in 1826 by D. Douglas. The hardiness depends on the seed source but our grafts are on understock from zone 4. The two selections we offer just happen to be nice weeping varieties. Intermediate Pendulous Zone 4 GLAUCA PENDULA' The light blue needles with a dense weeping growth habit make this selection similar to a blue weeping Norway Spruce! Intermediate Pendulous Zone 4 'GRACEFUL GRACE' A fantastic weeping form of Douglas Fir. Quite rare in the trade. ©1997-2006 All rights reserved.
