How to Grow and Care for Douglas Fir Tree

Douglas Fir Tree (Pseudotsuga menziesii) Growing Requirements

Hardiness zone 4-6 outdoors

Planting

Plant your Douglas Fir in a spot in your yard that gets at least 6 hours of sun each day. Well-drained soil is also ideal. To plant, dig a hole in the ground that is two times as large as the root ball. Place the tree in the loose soil and press the soil down until the tree’s roots are completely covered.

Watering

Water the ground immediately after you plant your tree, but don’t oversoak. To establish your young tree, you may need water 1 to 4 times each month during the summer. Your tree will need around 20 inches of water each year, so rainfall should work well unless there is a period of extreme drought.

Pruning

If you do see infested or diseased branches, you can prune them down to the trunk in the fall.
