 Douglas
fir has been the major Christmas tree species from Oregon since
the 1920's, when most Christmas trees came from the forest. Today
nearly all real Christmas trees are grown on tree farms like ours
near Philomath, Oregon.
On the farm, Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) can
grow over a wider range of conditions than other species, so more
fields are available. And because they grow more quickly than the
true firs, Douglas fir is a mid priced Christmas tree that offers
exceptional value. At our Christmas tree lot in Los Angeles, we
have Douglas fir available up to about 10 feet tall.
Douglas fir are liked for their dense bushy shape
and fine soft green needles. They have a distinctive pine-like scent,
and that fragrance seems to last through the entire Christmas season.
Easily decorated, Douglas fir is able to support a large number
of Christmas tree lights if you really like to light it up!
