The Douglas-fir is one of the largest conifers. It grows from 60 to 100 metres high. Its bark can be up to 30 cm thick. And it can live for up to 1000 years.
Douglas-fir is found on a variety of soils, but grows best on sandy loams. It does poorly during long dry, hot periods, and therefore prefers coastal regions, such as the Pacific coast.
Its wood is heavy and strong. It is a source of wood pulp and lumber, in addition to being used for structural purposes, and in shipbuilding. It is used in many countries for landscape and reforestation purposes, and is highly rated in France for reforestation and interior finishings. As well, it is popular as Christmas trees.
