Colloquially, the species is also simply as Doug-fir or as Douglas Pine (although the latter common name may also refer to Pinus douglasiana

Bjs these are on our property, most of our property is like this. These trees are enormous that is why we have so much shade and deers! We own 8 acres and only couple of acres around the house are open.

Thank you Sheila.

Wow, so now I see how they are great and tall. Of course, I read a lot about pseudotsuga canadensis, but never saw any in its natural region. By the way, I have one in my garden, too, but mine is a very small tree ;-)

The picture really does not show how big they are. I cannot hug them fully. Good luck growing one Katarina.
Do you have it for long time?
