Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your Douglas Fir live trees is straightforward, ensuring they grow into healthy, beautiful specimens. Upon arrival, gently unbox your trees. These young trees are perfect for display in their nursery pots for a short period, especially if used as Douglas Fir for holidays. For long-term growth, transplanting is recommended. Choose a location with full sun to partial shade, meaning at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Adequate light is crucial for robust growth and maintaining their vibrant color. When planting outdoors, ensure the soil is moist, well-drained, and slightly acidic. Good drainage is paramount to prevent root rot. If planting in a container, use a high-quality potting mix designed for evergreens.

Watering should be consistent, especially during the establishment phase. Keep the soil evenly moist but never waterlogged. Check the soil moisture regularly, and water when the top inch or two feels dry to the touch. Once established, Douglas Firs are relatively drought-tolerant but will benefit from supplemental watering during prolonged dry spells. Fertilize sparingly in early spring with a mild, balanced evergreen fertilizer if desired; over-fertilization can harm young trees. Minimal pruning is needed to maintain their natural conical shape, primarily for decorative purposes or to remove any damaged branches. These live conifer plants are known for their resilience. Overwintering is generally not an issue as they are cold-hardy and can be planted outdoors in suitable USDA zones, allowing them to grow into magnificent mature trees.
