Pseudotsuga menziesii 'Ewe's Golden'

Common name
Douglas fir

Family
Pinacea 

Genus
Pseudotsuga is a genus of evergreen coniferous trees in the family Pinacea (subfamily Laricoideae). Common names include Douglas fir, Oregon pine and Bigcone spruce. Pseudotsuga is widespread in western North America and Asia. 

Nineteenth-century botanists had problems in classifying Douglas firs, due to the species' similarity to various other conifers better known at the time; they have at times been classified in Pinus, Picea, Abies, Tsuga and even Sequoia. Because of their distinctive cones, Douglas firs were finally placed in the new genus Pseudotsuga (meaning "false hemlock") by the French botanist Carriere in 1867.
