Reading your Cave Junction “… Zip” piece I noticed “Douglas fir” as missing its hyphenation. Correctly: Douglas-fir. The hyphenation in the common name denotes the tree as not a true fir (Abies). The Latin name Pseudotsuga menziesii (italized), means “false hemlock.” Therefore, the tree is neither a true fir nor a hemlock (both are conifers). What really is the tree: simply a Douglas (hyphenated) fir.
