The Hemlocks and Douglas firs.

What kind of species are you dealing with.

The key between the species will follow later.

Douglas fir Pseudotsuga_menzoiesii | Eastern_hemlockspar Tsuga_canadensis | Western_hemlockspar | Mountain hemlock

Both the Hemlock firs and the Douglas firs are large fir trees. They have soft needles with white lines. The needles are flat and not stinging or rigid. You can tell them apart best by the bark and the cones. Douglas fir is very common in Dutch forests, sometimes more common still than the Norway spruce. Hemlock firs are not often seen in forests, but nevertheless you see them here and there. Douglas fir are easily recognizable and so are Hemlocks. The different Hemlock species are quite impossible to keep apart. They are, however, terribly superb and timeless/almost fairy-like trees, especially if they stand alone.
