Bigcone Douglas Fir (Pseudotsuga macrocarpa)

Set of scaled dimensioned drawings of the Bigcone Douglas Fir viewed from the front and top

The name Bigcone Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga macrocarpa) comes from the large cones it produces. These cones are the largest among trees in this genus. It is also called the bigcone spruce and is found in mountainous areas in southern California. This evergreen conifer has a straight growth form with a conical crown. The roots are strong and spreading while the bark is thin and deeply ridged. The needle-like leaves are shed at five years. The long and spreading main branches have pendulous side shoots, as the seeds are large and heavy. It is mostly planted for habitable restoration as it is resistant to fires, insects, drought, and decay.

Bigcone Douglas Firs have a typical overall height between 49’-82’ (15-25 m) and spread diameter of 20’-39’ (6-12 m). Exceptional mature Bigcone Douglas Fir trees may grow to heights of 100’ (30 m) in the wild. The trunk of the Bigcone Douglas Fir has a diameter of 20”-59” (.5-1.5 m) with needle-like leaf lengths between .5”-1.25” (13-32 mm).
