Douglas Fir Sapling Trees

Pseudotsuga menziesii: Bareroot Sapling Douglas Fir Trees

Delivered by Mail Order Direct from our Nursery with a Year Guarantee

Douglas Fir trees, Pseudotsuga menziesii, are large and vigorous evergreen conifers. Mature trees in the open have a lush, attractive canopy.

For such a big tree, the Douglas Fir has a fairly compact canopy, with downward pointing lower branches that do a great job of blocking out sight from about 5 metres off the ground when they're mature. Older trees have very thick, corky bark with lovely sinuous ridges.

They're not suitable for a clipped hedge, and can be grown as a tall windbreak and screening tree up to about 55+ metres high.

Delivery season: Firs are delivered bareroot during late autumn and winter, approximately November-March inclusive.

Growing Douglas Firs

They're great for poor soil, as long as the site isn't too dry: British rainfall should be enough for them. As with any tree that grows in dry conditions, it still needs watering to establish.
