Rocky Mountain Douglas-fir is a valuable timber tree. The wood is exceptionally strong and is used for structural timber as well as poles, plywood, pulp, dimensional lumber, railroad ties, mine timbers, log cabins, posts and poles, fencing, and firewood. Rocky Mountain Douglas-firs are also cut and sold as Christmas trees.
Douglas Fir grows best in full sun and prefers slightly acid, well-drained soil. Young trees are pyramidal, with branches that extend to the ground, so they make effective screens. But, as the years go by the bottom branches fall away.
In the landscape, large forms are best grown as specimens for large open spaces, while dwarf forms are suited to smaller garden spaces.
