Has the widest distribution of any true fir in the West, ranging from Vancouver Is. south near the Coast to Sonoma County, California, and south into the northern Rocky Mountains. A large tree, sometimes 300' high and over 4' in diameter. The wood is light, soft, coarse-grained and very perishable in contact with soil. Used for common lumber purposes, boxes and crates, and paper pulp. This board was cut in Humboldt County in 1934 from a tree left standing after the redwood was removed. On the edges the resultant accelerated growth rate is manifested by wider growth rings.
