Douglas-fi r
Not a true fi r — hence
the hyphen — these coni-
fers have more in common
with hemlocks.

limb.

poked a porcupine, you
just touched a spruce.
Spruce needles are stiff
and have prickly edges,
unlike the softer, more fi n-
ger-friendly fi rs.
Spruce trees usually
grow in wet areas, and
often are found in groves
near streams.

Christmas trees are not.
Lodgepoles of the right
height tend to be a bit
sparse of limb and a bit
unkempt in appearance, as
though they had slept in
an alley.
Lodgepoles are the
only pines native to
