It can reach heights of up to 70-100 metres, making it one of the tallest tree species in the world. The Douglas fir has a conical shape with a straight trunk and strong horizontal branches. The bark is thick, rough and deeply grooved. The needles are soft, flat, dark green and arranged in a spiral. The cones are pendulous, elongated and have three pointed prongs at the ends of the scales. The Douglas fir has been introduced in many parts of the world, including Europe, South America and New Zealand. In some areas, such as Central Europe, it is grown extensively because of its high wood quality and growth rate. There it is classified as potentially invasive, as it can spread into natural forests and suppress native species.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Well-known representatives are pines (Pinus), firs (Abies), spruces (Picea), larches (Larix) and Douglas firs (Pseudotsuga).
