Douglas Fir
Pseudotsuga menziesii
Not a true fir. Not a true pine. The name has not been corrected.
The Douglas fir anchors the misty forests of the Pacific Northwest and is the state tree of Oregon. It is also not a true fir, and not a true pine. The name has simply never been corrected, which is a small monument to how rarely anyone goes back to fix a label once everyone’s already using it.
