First have softer needles than spruce.[/QUOTE
Thanks Mike. I am assuming this is a doug fir then. Needles are soft, flat, and not sharply pointed. Can not roll them in my fingers. I was sure it was a sitka based on my forest service maps and the area in which I collected it today was about 700 yards from the coast. Anyway.First have softer needles than spruce.
Or is it a Douglas fir? Hard to tell. Still working on my identification skills.
Thank you. The only reason I decided to get it was for the deadwood on it. Trunk is a good 9" in diameter. Hopefully it will be nice in the future if it survives.Sure looks like a Doug fir. Looks like nice potential too.

Yeah. Woops. It's circumference.Really? It's always hard to tell size in a photo but you don't have diameter and circumference mixed up do you?
It's an easy way to distinguish between the 2.Thanks Mike. I am assuming this is a doug fir then. Needles are soft, flat, and not sharply pointed. Can not roll them in my fingers.

ThanksThis might help up your identification game. Lots of go info.
