Douglas-fir is not really a fir, resin blisters are found on trees other than balsam fir, and Virginia pine's habitat is not limited to a single state.
Logging was very wasteful then because the pitch on the bottom 10 feet of the Douglas fir was so sticky it jammed their primitive saws and made it almost impossible for loggers to cut trees close to the ground.
The Douglas fir is a major timber and Christmas tree species; the redwood is used as timber, and its bark, for landscaping.

Douglas-fir is often the dominant (often sole dominant) tree species up to the old-growth successional stage in several vegetation zones, due to its propensity for rapid reproduction in open or early-seral conditions and its longevity.
The Douglas Fir and Noble-Fir dominated forest provides critical winter range for deer and elk.
Nests are placed in large cottonwood or douglas fir trees within 400 meters of water and are used over and over again.

Douglas-fir occupies a broad range of environments and exhibits considerable genetic variation for growth, morphology, and drought hardiness.
