Douglas Fir

An evergreen conifer that can grow to 60m and live for more than 1,000 years. The bark of young trees is grey-green with highly scented blisters, and becomes purple-brown, thick and corky with horizontal fissures over time.

Considered the best of the edible conifers with its rich citrusy aroma, often infused into tea, syrup and spirits.

A dye plant that yields earthy tones ranging from soft peaches, tans, and warm yellows to chartreuse, largely due to its high tannin content
