About
Native to the western interior of North America, the Interior Douglas-fir inhabits mountains, lowlands, and various landforms of different soil types. The tree has a slower growth rate and greater cold tolerance than its costal variety. Interior Douglas-fir wood is strong and has a wide range of uses in construction, woodwork, and millwork.Growing From Seed

Growing From Plants
Seedlings are a more economical option than established plants and an easier start than growing from seed. Our plants are shipped in soil blocks or plug trays. Plants do surprizingly well in the mail but need special care upon arrival. Please see Planting Mail Order Seedlings for information on how to plant and care for seedlings.
