Fir Trees
If you have ever seen a 2x4 or, any other dimensional framing material chances are you were looking at some species of fir tree. Fir trees are plentiful in the Pacific Northwest and provide one of the best sources of construction framing material available.
Fir trees are extremely durable both in the forests and in framing. Their weight to strength ratio is unparalleled by any other species. These trees were designed to withstand the tremendous forces of alpine wind and snow, accounting for their strength.
Fir trees make up most Christmas Trees in the Pacific Northwest due their symmetrical shape and limb growth. They make excellent wreaths and other ornamentation.
Fir Trees are the king of building materials, Christmas Trees, and many engineered products. They simply are one of the best trees we as people have been blessed with.
