Oregon's state tree, the Douglas fir, comes in two types, coast and Rocky Mountain. The Douglas fir can grow several hundred feet and live for over 1,000 years.
The species can be found from western British Columbia through central California, according to Portland.gov. Ashlyn Messier is a writer for Fox News Digital.
The Douglas fir was named after Scottish botanist David Douglas, according to Forestry and Land Scotland. In 1827, Douglas sent the first seed of a Douglas fir to Britain from North America.
