The Douglas fir, the state tree of Oregon, can grow incredibly tall and live impressively long. The oldest Douglas fir trees have lived to be over 1,000 years old.
The Douglas fir, also called a Douglas tree, Oregon pine or Douglas spruce, can grow hundreds of feet high — and the oldest of the species can live for over 1,000 years. The Douglas fir is the state tree of Oregon. The species can be found from western British Columbia through central California, according to Portland.gov.
Rocky Mountain Douglas firs have that same diameter, but they don't usually grow as tall. They usually reach around 160 feet, the federation notes. The Douglas fir is the second-tallest tree species in the world, according to the National Park Service. The species holding the No. 1 spot is the coastal redwood. Coastal redwoods usually grow to be between 300 and 350 feet, according to the National Park Service.
