History: Most people recognize Fir as the most popular species of Christmas tree in the US. This tree was likely introduced as a cultivar by botanist-explorer David Douglas in 1826, and it is now one of the most important tree species in North America. The wood is used extensively in everything from aviation to construction. In fact, most of the wooden ties used to construct the First Transcontinental Railroad were made from Fir wood.
