A Douglas Fir (Pseudotsuga mensiesii) stands as one of the biggest trees in North America at 329 feet in height and 11 1/2 feet in diameter. It is also one of the easiest to identify. Found mainly in the West, wood from this tree has served man from pre-colonial times to the present. This fast-growing tree finds use today as plywood, structural lumber, paper and particle-board.
